O.P. Hotmail sending dodgy emails
Some has used my account to send dodgy emails to all my contacts.

I knew this because I had loads of "Failed Delivery" emails in my inbox.

I checked my sent messages, but they weren't there.

However I found them in the deleted box.

Hey, good news!
     I ordered one BlackBerry Bold 9700 Onyx from this website www.eletron-top.com one  weeks ago, today I've got it . Amazing, beyond my imagination, it's genuine and as good as expected,but much cheaper. I'm pleased to share this good news with you! May all goes well
for you

Problem is I have no idea how this happened.

I've changed my password now but I'm quite sure I didn't fall for any phishing scams.. :S

Only thing I can think of is I was adding a couple applications on Facebook.

Eddie said he had a similar problem and he thought it originated from Facebook.

I can't see how they can get access to my email just by adding an application though?
