    Your contacts list has been compromised.The best thing to

    do is,

    Tell your friends not to click on any links in those email,as

    they will have virus/or worms attached

    You and your friends will need to do a full spyware scan.

    and once that's done

    Change your password,and that should stop it.

    Make a note of your new Password.

    Good luck
