huh? email addresses don't get infected. web based emails don't get infected.
your computer and/or email client is infected. are u using some kind of email client? outlook? thunderbird? eudora?
do u have an antivirus installed? there are tons of instructions on the net on how to remove viruses/virii.
if u don't know how, bring it to a competent tech and have them remove it.

someone (hacker) is using your email. if you can still get inside, change the password and personal info.

I believe your email account has been compromised. Immediately change your password, personal info and security questions. Tell your contacts not to click any links from that advertising ****** message(s). Also, run an antivirus on your computer.

update your antivirus software. your unit is infected.

it's a trojan/malware it copies all listed contacts when you login to your email. then sends out email coming from you.

There are 3 ways your computer is infected with Virus/Trojan/Malware programs. Email attachment, downloaded from (file sharing programs, torrents), and links from malicious websites. Here's what you need to do;

1.) Download this programs (Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, SpywareBlaster & MalwareBytes) from FileHippo.com - Download Free Software. Trust me, this is a safe site . You can even verify from McAfee SiteAdvisor's website.

2.) Install EACH program and update its signatures.

3.) Disconnect your PC from Internet connected peripheral.

4.) Run EACH program one-at-a-time except SpywareBlaster and remove anything that is been found.

5.) Download the McAfee SiteAdvisor at McAfee SiteAdvisor Software ? Website Safety Ratings and Secure Search and install it. This is a FREE web security plug-in in your browser that will provide you with RED, YELLOW & GREEN website safety ratings.

6.) Download the FREE Anti-Virus AVIRA in FileHippo if you don't have anti-virus program in your computer. This is also a neat program that will protect you in real time.

Have a safe virus free day!
