If anyone can help me on this. My hotmail account was hijacked I guess, because there is so many return mail on these days and I never sent out any of those message or promotion links out; I check every single one of them. This morning, there is an unfinished draft in my mail account, and I open it up, it is a promotion material which intended to send out to all my friends on my mail list. Oh my Gosh, someone just hijacked my hotmail account. What should I do to prevent it? I just can't find a link or anywhere in hotmail to warn the hotmail server administrator.

You should first change your hotmail password as to avoid any more emails sent using your account. Then try to check you system for any spyware or malware that might have infected it. There are many freeware scanner and remover you can find on the net. But the best ones are usually not free. :) Good luck!
