I have a spam problem

I have had a spam problem on my hotmail account for a while, I believe I fixed this by removing all my contacts. However, I think the same problem is happening with my yahoo account which I use to apply for jobs and for uni, apparently "I" sent one of my tutors an e-mail with a link to a porn site lol. I run Spybot weekly, as well as CCleaner, and AVG free although less frequently because it never finds anything. I have a Zonealarm free firewall. I have just run hijackthis and don't know what programs are the possible bad ones. I tried to download the DDS thing but it didn't work, sorry. Also I am not the only person who uses this laptop, so it may be that others in my family are doing/installing programs I am unaware about, although I try to keep a fairly tight ship in regards to that. Anything else that might be helpful just tell me, I am reasonably competent with computers, but this sort of thing is beyond my grasp.
