Hotmail problems

Hi guys
I've never posted on this techie thread before but I need some help please. I discovered about two months ago that my hotmail accounts been sending spam messages to everyone in my contact list.
I discovered that there is a section under options where you can get hotmail to send a "vacation" message to people while your away, I've never used this option and didn't even know it existed until then. When I discovered the message "spam" that was typed in this space, I deleted it and set it to DO NOT SEND MESSAGE, there is no other way to switch it off completely.
Today it sent an spam email to my other email address from my hotmail address, and its switched back on again when I went into the options menu once again.
How do I stop this?
Thanx so much for your help, hope you understand what I'm asking lol, even though it's complicated.
Cheers
Casper

Thanx for that. I just think I'll delete my hotmail account, it's not worth the hassle. Have never had this problem with yahoo.
