Email address list compromised?

Hi there,
I received spam email today on the email address I use for MSE - MSE is the only place I use this particular address. Has anyone else had the same?
My PCs are all up to date with Anti Virus, Spyware detector, etc. Last time a similar thing happened, it was because a site had been compromised and had its address list stolen. Hoping that's not what has happened here
I had a look for threads already on this without luck.
