Halp my computer is sending spam!

[JAW959]

I keep getting "postmaster@hotmail.com" emails saying that emails I didn't send didn't go through, and then another message got sent to all my contacts, I don't think it's malware links. Already scanned with AVG, no infections.

What do?

It sounds like someone's taking control of your e-mail account to send messages with it, not necessarily from your computer.
