Your email account has been hacked.  You can stop unauthorized emails from being sent to your contacts by changing your password.  There are a couple ways to change your password.  If your account is with Hotmail or Windows Live, follow the link here to change your password.  It will present you with a window where you can choose which "change password" option is best for you. 

When you create a new password, it should be at least 7 characters, contain an upper and lower case letter, a number, and special character.  This will prevent your password from being hacked in the future. Good luck to you.
