your account has been hijacked by spammers maybe...how to fix no clue...try changing your password. Do you use MSN messenger? might want to run some scans on teh system your logged into if that s the case, Super Antispyware and Malware bytes are good apps for that

If you really want to kinda dig deeper into it, you can check the header info in a few of the e-mails to see if its really coming from a Mail-Demon or a real account, lots of e-mail tracking sites out there u can try

so now Im slightly pissed...I came in to work to day and cheked my e-mail only to find an e-mail from my personal account, opened it, SPAM!!
checked the header info and it says the source is 127.0.0.1....logged into my e-mail and found serveral failed e-mails. changed my password and ran scans on the systems that could have possibly been infected, which is limited to 3, technically 2. My work PC, home PC and Iphone.
I am pretty sure that its not my home PC since I run nightly scans on that one, my work PC is questionable but should be a low chance. My Iphone no clue, i only use yahoo messanger on it.
will see what the scan results say in afew mins

I dunno how they do it but when I was selling my iPad on Ebay someone tried to scam me, got ma email address via paypal and sent spam emails to anyone I ever sent an email to (some weren't even my contacts) and I got a lot of failure notices. Of course they sent one to them-self too and I saw the address so I fired of an email riddled with strong words. Just to say it may not be a virus on your system.
