Something grabbed my e-mail address and sent a gobbled message to everyone in my  e-mail. Husband cleaned up the computer but no viruses, just cookies.
e-mail said something about Christmas and jibberish letters. anyone else have this problem. sent it out early am before I was even on the computer

That's happened to me before unfortunately.  It sent some crazy stuff to everyone in my contacts.

About a year ago it happened to me also.  Someone got my email address and password.  They used it to send the same email to everyone in my address book.  As mannie123 said, change your password immediately.
