Strange (to me) email hacker
I've had the same Hotmail address for over 10 years, in April, all my contacts (about 100 back then) recieved the following email.............
Subject- hello--------3.15 x

Then it happended again, with a new computer, twice in Aug. and again on labor day, same text, but different website link. I was told it was a hacker or worm that got my Hotmail password, so a couple of weeks ago I got a gmail acc't, deleted all my contacts from my Hotmail and quit using it.
Today, several of my contacts let me know they recieved another email from my Hotmail, this one just said "hello..........H8" in the subject but no text/advertisement. I went to my Hotmail, there are still no contacts in there and unlike the previous times, my sent folder is not showing that the email was sent out.
Also, the same email is in my NEW GMAIL address sent folder showing it was sent to my old hotmail, but nobody else.
I'm assuming I've got a bad worm/virus, whatever on my computer, I do not know much about these but isn't this really strange?
My previous computer had F-Secure for protection (installed by my previous employer), my new one has the Free AVG.
