SPAM problem, help me out!

well, my domain name is being used by spammers so I'm getting a heap of email 'returns' from insertnamehereatoniguitars.com etc...
I found some malware last week on a pc I use a lot for email so I figure that's the culprit.Is there anything I can do to stop this crap? What's the procedure?

One your email addy gets out to spammers you are pretty much well and truely fucked. your probaly going to have to nix your email account and create a new one (So get rid of info@oniguitars and come up with a new one)

THen instead of just sticking your email addy in a webpage- where email harvesting spiders can and will find it look for a way to hide your addy from harvester bots http://www.addressmunger.com/

Sounds like you may have a zombie email virus (There are viruses that will actully spam email and you wont even know it is happening as it all hapens behind the scenes). Plus there a a lot of distributed spamming viruses out that can be used to spam injection denial of service.injection attacks at different website/hosts...

The returned emails lead me to believe that you have one of these spam mailer viruses on your computer - they basically make up a shitload of usernames and send out emails - check your email logs on your webhost to see if anything is actually getting through...
