PC/Email Issue.

[tyranical]

Yesterday at 17:23, something sent a load of spam emails from my email address that were something about electrical wholesale goods. I got a load of delivery failures as it must of sent to all my contacts and some of them no longer exist, but then my girlfriend and my mums 2 emails both got it aswell as i guess every other person. I changed my password to my emails immediately.

My first thought was virus, but my computer is clean?

Sounds like spyware to me.

Hotmail account?

Possibly compromised password. Make sure that that password recovery e-mail hasn't been altered if i was you.
