Spam Emails Being Sent from My Account

It looks like someone has been using my account to send spam. I keep getting failure notices for mail (spam) that I didn't send. How do I stop this? Thanks.

I kept getting messages from a friends mail account and it was messages she did not send. I'm confused as to how this could happen.

I have been dealing with this all week. I signed up at Sally's Beauty Supply for their discount club. I purposely used a "dead" email address that I have not used in 3 years. Two days after signing up for the club card, me and all my friends/family have received SPAM emails. So be careful about giving out your email address. And when signing up for clubs that say they don't sell your address know that it is a bold faced lie. Especially with Sally's Beauty Supply.

You might want to check for viruses. Many viruses are created to do this.

Yes, change your passwords. This happened to me.

This happened with many facebook members. Change you facebook and your email passwords.
