How has my entire contact list been stolen and used for spam?

They are not in my sent box but the mailer demon undeliverable mail comes back and saturates my spam box. What is going on and how do I stop it? Even my immigration officer contact for my visa received these emails!|||Change your password ASAP.|||Your computer is infected





1 - run a scan for viruses, spyware and malware. A virus scan alone is not enough. If you do not have malwarebytes, download it for free


2 - delete your browsing history and cookies and empty your cache


3 - restart your computer


4 - change your password again





That should stop it
