how to stop hotmail from sending mail out on its own1 person needs an answerI do too

Change your hotmail password. Do not make it a simple easy-to-guess password. Preferably do not let Windows remember the password for you (some types of malware can read these caches).Then run a complete malware scan on your computer. It is likely that a password-stealing malware lifted your password and used it to send those emails.HTH, JW
