I guess someone hijacked my hotmail account. Someone turned on my vacation reply and put this in as the reply:

hi:
Heya, how are you doing recently ?
I would like to introduce you a very good company which I knew. Their company homepage is www.ele-zone.com . They can offer you all kinds of electronical products which you need, such as motorcycles, laptops, mobile phones, digial cameras, TV LCD,xbox, ps3, gps, MP3/4, etc. Please take some time to have a look at it, there must be something you 'd like to purchase.
Their contact email: ele_zone@188.com.
MSN: ele-zone@live.cn
Hope you have a good mood in shopping from their company!
Regards.


Can someone tell me what to do about this? It happened just over an hour ago. I put out an email to all my contacts to ignore it.

The only other thing that may be pertinent is that this last week I have been getting a Windows alert that there are two names on my network. I am really ignorant about this. if you can tell me where to check and remove this other name.

I live alone, so no one else has access to my computer.

Thanks.

Change your password. A person doesn't need physical access to your computer to take over your e-mail account. Also, stop using the computer until you've either thoroughly scanned for spyware or completely reinstall.
