Hacked?

Just had an email from my brother saying my hotmail is sending out spam and he thinks I've been hacked - any ideas what I do?

It's probably just the Microsoft 'Worm'. Happens a lot to hotmail accounts. All you should need to do is change your hotmail password.

To be safer I also set my account up so that everything goes to junk until I say otherwise.

This happened to me a couple of years ago, but nothing since.

Check if you have an out of office message set up on your account. There was one put on mine that sent out links to a fake online shop to everyone in my address book.
