Random E-mails from my hotmail

The Mulk · 2010-07-13 07:49:12

People on my contact list seem to be recieving e-mails directing them to websites advertising all sorts of products. These e-mails don't appear on my sent items in Hotmail. Is this a virus on my laptop? Any help would be appreciated.

Check out the I think I have a virus thread and follow the instructions. Also when you are finished with that change all your passwords or it could keep happening.
