Email sent by me and I didn't send it?

So, in my email just now, there was an RE with my name on it and it also was sent to my contacts. It is from some deitch.mojocreativegroup............... What happened and how do I correct this>

Update:

I did an AVG and Malwarebytes scan and nothing came back w/ issue. So, what happened?

Was I in my email and opened a link and than that link went to my contacts and that created this mess? Will my email be rouined? What about everyone elses email account, will then get all this sent to their contacts too?

    Its a virus.

    You probably opened a email recently. maybe an ad or something with a link. You click the link and the virus send out the ad to all or some of your contacts. The email you opened could of been from someone you know but with no message from them, just the link. They would of done the same thing, which is why you now have the virus.

    Most of these ad viruses are not too harmful to your system, do a full scan of your PC that should clear it. If you don't have anti virus software, download Microsoft Security Essentials, its free !

    Always be aware of emails with links from people you don't know.
