Help. my hotmail acount has started sending out dodgy emails to every one in my contacts list. Is there any way to stop this ?

Also when i was composing a new email I found in the to list a number of unnown names that i cani delete. Is there any way to solve this ?

your email sounds as if it's been hacked. Changing your password should stop it happening again.

Not sure about the send to lists - can you right-click on them and delete them? Or have they somehow got into your list of contacts?
