I haven't been around lately, thanks to a nasty virus that took over my computer. I now have AVG up and running, BUT......

Several of my friends have contacted me to know why I am sending them spam. Apparently, some low life managed to infiltrate my e-mail and under guise of being me has been sending the following message to the people on my Windows Live Mail directory:

Hi,
My dear friend, What's up?
I find a site to sell electronic products in very nice price. Laptop , Cellphone even Motorcycle are very popular. Their products are original quality with very low price as wholesale business supplier. They also can do retail business for end user now. Maybe it is suit for your business . If you like you can contact them : (www.nobel-888***)

EMAIL : falcon888@nobel***
MSN : falcon888@nobel***

(contact info deleted to protect the guilty)

Is there any way I can stop falcon666 from commiting further iniquities in my name? Do I have to set up an entire new e-mail account? How did falcon666@ignoble manage this anyhow?

Advise would be greatly appreciated!

PS Is Microsoft Security Essentials better than AVG?
