Changing password doesn't stop the mail-ware. One method is to steal you
addresses and use them where to send the mail. Adding your address is,
according to my son, an easy thing.
Changing password on a regular bases is a good idea though.

It's a pretty easy fix once you know you have been hacked, just change your
email password.

Its kind of a dumb spambot that sends those, the smarter ones pick a
subject
from an old email in the inbox they have taken over so it looks like an
interesting topic, then surround the link with some interesting text to
temp
you to click on it. So if you see a message with no subject and all it has
is a url just delete without clicking... sometimes it is handy to reply
directly to the sender, they may not know their account has been hacked.
