Yesterday a lot of mails, nearly 500 or so which is in the address book or those who I have sent in the past?
was sent, without me sending it and this is not in my sent folders. This was an ad- mail - 'Be your own boss'
My question is
How did this happen?
who may have sent them? (definately not from my computer as it is not in the sent folder)
How do I prevent this from happening again?
Thanks -

Your contacts list may have been compromised.The best thing to do,
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 check
your contact list for email address/s that shouldn't be there,and
remove them.
Finally change your password,and make a note of your new one.
this link helps to explain whats going on,just click on it
