E-mail is sending unknown links to my entire contact list!

Windows Live e-mail continues to send unknown links to my entire contact list. I can't seem to find any help and it continues to happen. I am worried about sending a virus or something. I am running Windows XP, EI 8. I've scanned my system and there doesn't seem to be any virus/spyware, ect.??

Sounds like Malware!

Hi

This sounds like some kind of Malware.

Try downloading and running SuperAntiSpyware and Malewarebytes and see if that doesn't clear it up.
