    About every other day in my homtail account I get an automated response, delivery status notification failure. shows a failure of an email going out to some of my friends old email addresses on MSN. Yeah some of those addresses are no longer good, but the point is some spyware is sending out automated emails to people in my addressbook from my address. I have 2 accounts in my windows live mail. SBC global and Hotmail. only having this issue with the hotmail address.

    ive scanned with, adaware, norton, Malwarebytes. Found something with Adaware awhile back then it stopped for almost a week. now its started again.

    the emails are going out at 6 in the morning. im not even up that early. lol

    what should i do ?

    Change your password on your email account. Should resolve that problem.
