e-mail virus help

[kdubya]

My hotmail has been sending e-mails to people in my address book. Is there a way to run a scan and get rid of what ever program is doing this?

or try different online adware/virus scans till you find it.

I recommend trendmicro.com.

online virus scanning, then install AVG and AVG anti-spyware.

run "msconfig". in the Services tag, click Hide all Microsoft Services, then uncheck anything that doesn't look legit (on my pc, i only have my anti-virus updater service checked). In the Startup tab, uncheck anything you don't want to start at boot-up (on my pc, only my anti virus and a Logitech process for my mouse are checked). click ok and restart your pc.

also, here are some freeware cleaning tools i use:
