Hotmail question

I keep getting hundreds of messages that read "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)."? I opened one and it has an attachment. I did not open it! At the bottom of email it reads "--Forwarded Message Attachment-- From: my email To: random email Subject: this thing frickin works!" What is going on here? I didn't forward anything. How do I get it to stop? I get so many "delivery status notifications" emails and it floods my inbox. Anyone else have this problem?

you have a bot that has hacked your account and is using it to send spam change your password and that should stop the problem

it could be anything from them guessing at your password untill they got it or opening a spam mail that had a virus attached to it i have had this happen several times to both my hotmail and my facebook and still dont know how i got them

You've been hacked! Like the previous responder said, changing your password would help. If it doesn't and worse comes to worst, disable your account and open a new one.
