My Email has been hacked - or something
My e-mail account (hotmail) has sent two mass mailings a week out no content, just a bogus link. My friend who received one of me also received one from a account yahoo with the same bogus link.
I have Verizon Internet Security Suite that says no virus. I also ran a Windows Live security sweep which came also own.
I am still able to access my e-mail account, but I changed the password and secret question.
What we can do to prevent my friends, etc. to penetrate these false emails? I use a secondary e-mail address for now.
My computer seems to work well - no odd shut downs or the inability to open a session. I got 1 or two strange error messages.

My email has been hacked and used to send Spam. I have to perform a virus check, or simply change the password?
Do not install or run an anti virus app.
How do you know that your email has been "hacked"? It is a common practice for spammers to forge an envoy from the e-mail address. It may be that your email address has been misused. There's nothing to do if this is the case for you. The spammer will soon pass and usurp another email address.
It's a good idea to immediately change your password by email if someone would actually managed to access your e-mail account.
