Email virus/bug/thing

[zacl87]

Today there were a few emails in my hotmail about undelivered emails, and some from friends letting me know i've got a email virus deal. So, whatever, it's just hotmail and i've gotten them from other people before, no big deal.

Then, I logged into my university email and it had also sent out emails reading:

This made me think that it's possibly something on my computer? Instead of just being isolated to hotmail? Or maybe in Safari?

Ideas would be great.

You don't have a virus, as there are none in the wild that run on current Mac OS X. Most likely, someone hacked your hotmail account or is simply spoofing it. It has nothing to do with your computer.

As you can see, it's not limited to hotmail:

It's not a virus; it's your password being cracked or something. I would just change your password if I were you, and be more vigilant about your email account.
