Someone hacking into my account

someone has been hacking into my account to the poiint
where microsoft has suspended my account. i can't get in
because too many unsuccessful attempts have been made. i
notice someone was using my account last night and quickly
went in and changed the password. i thought this would
prevent it from being altered, but it didn't. my friend
had the same thing done to his computer, with the result
being a closure of his account. can someone please help?

Messaging clients (msn/yahoo/icq) are not secure programs themselves.
Either get a firewall and/or change password to something more difficult,
or don't use messaging clients.
