You have a trojan thats designed to send spam to all the contacts in your email address book, changing your password is a good idea but probably won't stop it as thats not what the trojan uses to access your address book.



Try downloading and scanning with - http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php its one of the best trojan removers.



EDIT: You should also download and run a program called Spybot - Search and Destroy from http://www.download.com

You are not really infected with any spywares, malware or etc...It's just common that someone sent you an email like this. I even received emails like this. But one thing I would tell you, most of this email is from scammers. Don't believe on them.



When you are on the internet, you can't be sure where your email goes. Mark it as spam. You even don't know who is he. Don't trust people on the net whom you really don't know.



Beware of scammers.
