Somebody or other is using my email account to send spam/viruses. I just got a weird returned mail of messages that couldn't be sent, and i sure didn't send a single one! I'll start by changing my password, but what else can I do about it?

don't be fooled, it is all a virus trick on someone else's computer... it just means someone else has a problem. the virus sends out mails and uses random names from *their* adressbook as sender.

maybe your computer has a virus?

The bad news is, you can't do anything. The good news is, there's probably nothing wrong with your computer or account; the returned mail is in response to forgeries. (It's disgustingly easy to forge somebody else's address as the sender of your spam.)
