A change of passwords should (hopefully) do the trick... but virus scanning, ccleaning, HJTing, and a myriad of other things never hurt really. Might as well be sure.

Anyway, GL. :)

( love this thing... :spam )

That is not what Pancake said.
He said "spammers have got you mail address"
It has nothing to do with compromised accounts or passwords.

It is simply a spammer sending out emails with that persons email address in the From field.
Happens frequently and nothing you can do about it except change your email address.
