Where are all the techies?
I just found spam in my bulk folder(yahoo mail a/c) and to my surprise i am allegedly the sender.My address has been used to send spam to the same e-mail a/c i.e the sender’s address is mine and the recipient’s too.Does this mean that i have spyware in my computer?Does someone have access to all my data?
I use Symantec Norton internet security but according to it everything is fine.
I shall be very greateful for all your expert advice.Thanking you all in advance.

Norton misses lots of stuff..
Especially when its expired.

It is very simple to modify headers of any email. You can make an email look as if it came from anywhere. It’s probably just a spammer.
The email headers are faked. It’s not really from you. Download http://www.spywareterminator.com/ to be sure.
