  Hi Dana,

  2. do you have the full version of antivirus installed on your computer?

  (a) I recommend you run a virus scan online from the link given below and check if the problem persists:

  Microsoft safety scanner

  Also, make sure that you have the latest update of the software antivirus installed on your computer, so that it works correctly.

  (b) you can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

  If the problem persists, I recommend you to ask your question in the support forum for Windows Live Hotmail for assistance:

  See the other answers, you have obtained, but also be aware of the possibility that it is * not * your hotmail that sends messages. Rather your list of contacts may have been copied by malware and messages are sent from a different computer.

• Infected by a virus that automatically sends to all Hotmail contacts list

  I seem to have gotten infected with a virus that will address to my contacts list hotmail together with false advertising. However when I connect to hotmail from another computer not infected at a different location, the spamming of my hotmail contacts re - occurred which seems to suggest the virus got on the hotmail server. Everyone knows this. I ran AVG etc. on the original computer, but no virus found.

  Hello

  Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.

  It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
  account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
  were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
  who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
  NOT only the answer to the address.
