You probably should ditch the account and be more vigilant about who you give your email address to for a new account.

Someone somehow got the password to your email account and is using it to spam your friends. It happened to me once before too.</p><p> </p><p>Login to your email account, change the password, and also change any security questions.</p><p> </p><p>That should put a stop to the spamming.</p> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:27:06 GMT http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-for-Mac/hotmail-virus/m-p/220093#M2192 TylerDurden 2010-04-09T19:27:06Z
