Spamming my address book

LimeLight

How do i stop everyone being spammed from my hotmail account.
I'm usually so careful when clicking links and usually know when it's spam, so where's it come from?
Avg and spybot haven't found anything.

Help please!

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 - FileHippo.com
Install, UPDATE tab, CHECK FOR UPDATES, then run a FULL SCAN. Remove everything it finds and post log here. Then reboot computer.

Download HijackThis 2.0.2 - FileHippo.com
Install and the very top button (something like scan and make log): post log here.

Also AVG is rubbish so after we've checked your computer, we should remove it and install something better (such as avira which is free). But don't do this yet.

How do you know that these emails are sent by you? The sender address can be faked easily. If you're using webmail then it's quite unlikely that these emails came from you.

Because i'm also getting the delivery failure notifications on emails no longer in use.

Of course, because your email address is in the From: header of the email and that's where all. It's like someone is sending a lot of letters to people and puts you address at the back. All letters which can't be delivered will come "back" to you.

Ok, in this case it looks like they're from you.
