Got home this afternoon and an email was sent out to every person I've ever emailed through my personal computer about some "Good Shopping" website link. Someone/something hacked my Hotmail account. I updated my Virus protection and when I did a quick Scan it didn't show any viruses. I'm going to do the full scan but it says it will take several hours, so want to try to get my ducks in a row first.
I wanted to send out an email to all my contacts and tell them not to try the link in the email, but I've now hit my quota for the day (because of this mass emailing). I've contacted Hotmail to try to reset my limit, have no clue how fast that can be done (if done at all). I reset my Hotmail password, but did this prior to checking my virus protection status, so am thinking I should reset it again after the full scan. I'm also going to reset my bank password after I do the full scan.
Any other suggestions. Thanks. This is so frustrating.

DH did more work on it and resset all of our passowrds and thinks it is really gone now (he is good with computer things). I hope so because he is not here the rest of the week to do anything if it is not.
