You're not a spammer, so when your friends start asking why you sent them that message about male enlargement or mail-order brides you know right away something is very wrong. Has your computer been recruited into a botnet? Did somebody hack your password? There are several possibilities, none of them truly pleasant.
First, the good news. The cause almost certainly isn't an e-mail virus on your system. If a virus is involved, the victim is somebody else, someone whose address book includes you. But if there's no virus involved, if malefactors hacked your account or simply guessed your password, you've got some serious cleanup work to do.
For details on what can happen, how you can identify the cause, and what steps to take for recovery see my article Was My E-mail Hacked?. And if your e-mail password is "password" or "123" or your dog's name, change it right now!
