My pc seems to be automatically sending emails to everyone in my address book?

without my knowledge. These emails are usually either entitled 'no subject' or give a one-word title and all contain just a link, which if clicked on, gives a load of rubbish advertising to the poor recipient. I have run my spyware systems which tell me that my pc is not infected with trojans, worms or viruses - but these unwanted emails continue being sent out. Can anyone suggest how I stop this and what it might be?? Thanks in advance.

    It really sounds like malware. Try using Malwarebytes Anti Malware. Its a free program from microsoft you can find it using any search engine and it really works on tough malware.
