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.

They will help.

See you soon.
