How can I keep my address book from being hacked?

Someone has hacked into my account and keep sending e-mails to everyone in my address book that is?

spam. How do I stop it
Answer:

Your account has not been hacked, it it was you wouldn't be able to access it. And all contents would be gone. Your account has been compromised. First do a full virus/malworm scan then change your password. Alert your contacts to not click the link in the message sent from your account because it is a virus, worm. Let them know you didn't send it. This is happening to many now. Changing the password stops it.
