Hey last 2 days i have had about 40 emails, all of them from hotmail saying the message was a failure. I just looked in my outbox and something is using my email to send out heaps of emails everyday. I have a spyware program but it did not pick anything up. How can i stop it?

do you have an antivirus program
do you have a firewall
what anti-spyware program are you using
is it up to date
have you tried ad-aware or spybot

+1 for Spybot & Ad-Aware..

Would also suggest giving AVG Anti-Spyware (formerly Ewido) a crack at it.
