    Hi can you please update your system specs.

    Also what you have posted makes no sense

    You put it is sending mail without your permission

    Then another message

    Auto reply ticked do you as that will do what you describe

    Please supply as much information as you can.

    If you have run Kaspersky and Malwarebytes and problem still persists, then it is possible your Hotmail account has been hacked.

    Perhaps, you should stop using that account,
    and create a new Hotmail email address,
    then inform your friends, relatives and business associates of the new email address.

    Adding................. although " close the Hotmail account " sounds a very logical action, it really does not solve anything.
    If you were hacked, the hacker had your contact list. He/she could continue sending emails to your contacts.
    The only way to prevent your contacts from being scammed is to inform them of the fact and of your new email address.

    I have blocked the outgoing traffic and i opened a search on my email address even. All by my ISP.

    Do you think these messages are being sent from your PC? Can you see them in sent mail for example?

    If you haven't change your email password.

    If it continues it could be someone is spoofing your email (sending a mail as if from you with a contact list obtained earlier). This doesn't mean your email is hacked. To know if this is the case you would need to look at the email header of one of these messages as this would tell you who the mail was actually sent from (rather than who it appears to have been).

    As @billy268 said there isn't much you can do about that.

    So you're receiving mails then, not sending them?
