My contact list got hijacked and sent spam.

Got a shedload of mail delivery failure notifications and automated email responses a few days ago.....as well as a load of friends emailing " wtf " in relation to my hotmail account sending out some bleeding unsolicited email.

" dear friend...I loved this company so much that I would suggest you have a look at their ...."

That kind of crap.

Is there any program that can sort this more effectively than others.?

Currently got IoBit systemcare and security running on Vista 64

Hi Andy give this a try LINKY -

Thanks, giving it a go right now.
