Spamocalypse 2010

A terribly eager spam-virus has infected one of my email accounts (the old hotmail one) and keeps sending a gazillion viagra spam mails to EVERYONE on my contact list every day. Friends, co-workers, bosses, ex-teachers, yahoo groups and god knows who else. People who haven't heard from me in years suddenly get reacquainted through spam! I deleted the account - hopefully that should make it stop - but in the meanwhile every friend I have sends me panicked "OMG did you know you had a virus?!" mails to my gmail account. And this *after* I've mailed everyone to tell them not to open these mails. It's the spam gift that keeps on giving.
