Someone's Hotmail is hijacked
As a few people have pointed out, some emails containing a odd-looking link appear to have been sent from my Hotmail account to people.
Checking about, it's definately not my account (as none of my personal contacts away from Lowstress have received anything) but someone elses who has my email address in their address book.
Given that it's gone to a lot of contacts from Lowstress, the chances are that it's one of us - probably through a compromised Messenger application.
Can everyone check their accounts, scan your PCs etc and make sure you're not responsible for the spam please?

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Can probably narrow it down by seeing who has the following contacts on MSN:
Bisi,
Vasily Zeitsev
Sniper75
Pete
It's not me because I only have Bisi's info and I don't have myself in my address book.
Obviously this isn't a fool-proof method but it's a start.

Well just in case my account was compromised I've gone and changed my Live password. Still blaming one of you lot though
