    It could be better that you’ve already took action and scanned your computer for any viruses. FYI, malware is just one of the causes of this problem. I advise that you to change your password, secret question and answer and alternate e-mail address.

    I think your account has been hacked by that person if you have still access to your account you do change your password and the security question also make sure that you have got a virus free computer..since a virus can do this kind of stupid activites

    The worm/virus forwards various messages that persuade people to click on a malicious link that leads to a Web site. Clicking on the said link downloads a copy of the worm onto message recipients' computers. Upon download, it then gathers e-mail addresses saved on the recipient's computer and sends itself out to all of those addresses.To stay way from this kind of bullshits.Grab the most recent virus definitions. Be wary about opening messages that contain links to websites.
