Answer 1

A worm will do this. It will get into your computer like a virus and propagate itself by sending itself to everyone in your address book, so that their computer becomes infected too. This is far more likely than you have been hacked

Use AVG 8.0, it's free and incorporates an E-Mail scanner, Virus and Spy-ware blocker. You can download it from:-

Install it, update it and run a scan. Then tell all your friends to do the same.
