Gmail Account Has Been Hacked

[billr]

Somehow, unauthorized emails (ads, porn sites, etc.) are being sent to my Gmail contact list. I determined this early this morning as Gmail de-activated my account. I went in and changed the password and also ran Norton anti-virus, SpyBot Search & Destroy and am currently running AdAware. Have not detected any problems yet. This is quite concerning--I don't see how this could happen unless someone had my Gmail password. I deleted all my contacts in Gmail in hopes that this would thwart the thief if he gained access again. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
