Your account got compromised. First change your password. Account help.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/acct/in鈥?/a> for just about anything to do with your account. Then run anti Virus and Anti Spyware. Should be fine then.What is up with yahoo sending spam emails to my contact list?
Usually the spammer has obtained the password with phishing spam. Change the password. While you are in your account settings check for tampering with your alternate contact email address . The spammer could use that to obtain new passwords.



Abstain from clicking links within spam. Some can run malicious scripts that instruct logged in webmail to spam the address book.
