Delivery Notification of spam I never sent

I have received several delivery notifications of porn spam I never sent to a
winger_65. I do not know this person. I ran antispyware and malware and
nothing is found. How do I prevent this from reoccuring? I have contacted
hotmail support but, nothing but, auto response that does not address this
issue. Has my account been hacked and using me as a pigeon to distribute?

Because Hotmail is web-based ,you need a password to get in.If you have never
sent such a message ,immediately change your password and the question you
are asked if you forget the password.
Make them stronger ,with numbers ,letter and at least one special character
like @ ^ % # and so on....

Then ,you need to perform a scan with some software just to check if you
have some spyware or hack tool in your PC (keylogger...)

Scan with :

@ Ad-Aware SE Personal
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware


@ Microsoft Antispyware (only for people with genuie-legal Windows )
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx


http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
Panda Software free Active Scan,where you can check your
PC for ALL TYPES of security threats ( and clean viruses and worms )


If the problem is still on,you can change your mail box with another or
conact MSN/Hotmail here:

https://accountservices.passport.net
or
http://support.microsoft.com

I'd ignore it unless the volumes of bounces being huge. A spammer has
unfortunately taken it upon themselves to forge your address in one of their
spam runs. They will eventually move on to another email address.

If Hotmail has filtering (can't remember) you may be able to setup a rule to
delete all Delivery Failure notification messages. I know that letting them
get away with it sucks, but unless they are criminally stupid it will be
next to impossible to track them down as the spam run would have taken place
through an open relay or compromised host.

I recently received a couple of delivery failure notifications on my Hotmail
account. It appears to have stopped though.

Very probably, these emails were not sent from your account. Spammers often
use random addresses for the sender (taken from their list of recipients),
and the current email protocol (SMTP) doesn't provide any authentication,
especially if a open (misconfigured) SMTP server is used. Cryptographic
signatures are the only way to have a reasonably strong proof of the
identity of the sender.

Unless you have a specific reason to think that these mails were sent from
your account (e.g. after a close examination of email headers in the bounced
messages), you should simply ignore them. This is not unusual, and the worse
effect is that your mailbox will probably be flooded with such bounces for
some time. If hotmail permits it, try to filter them out.

It is fake.
If it was in your Inbox, click the junk option..
If it was in your junk box,
it is already identified as spam which you can confirm on deletion.
Hotmail "help" will tell you what all the icons represent too.
