My Hotmail address book spammed

[Big John]

My Hotmail account has been sending out e-mails to everyone in my address book.

 

Checked me 'sent' folder and there are hundreds of them, it's a right pain in the arse and I thought I'd sorted it by changing my password but to no avail. Had about 70 'could not deliver' messages too so clearly not the 'harvesting' type and i never forward joke e-mails, don't even read them tbh.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

btw i use AVG and Malaware atm.

 

Also found out today that my partner's account has been sending them out too, I share the laptop with them.

Exactly the same thing happened to me about 6 months ago.

 

i ended up just deleting the account as i had another one

change your password and it should stop

You might need to change your password and get a msn unfreezer.
