Advice please-my e-mail has apparently been hacked
Hello:

My e-mail address sent out about 100 bogus spam e-mails to people in my contact list with my return e-mail showing as the sender. I know I've seen this before with other people's e-mail accounts, but can someone tell me the best way to correct the problem?

I changed my password soon after finding out about the problem. Is that all that is needed? It actually started with an incoming e-mail to me from a person who has been a customer over the years. I clicked on the link and I think that's when my e-mail started spitting out spam to people. Is this a virus or an isolated thing?

Thanks to those of you who know more about this than I do.
