Why does my account send spam email on its own?

My account sends a spam email to everyone from my address book and erase every single contact from my address book afterward. I had lots of contacts saved, which are now lost. This happened already 3 times.

Because you have what is known as a worm virus. It "attacks" your address book, and sends out emails to all (often blank), and erases your contacts. It'll just continue doing that until you clean it up. I'm surprised you didn't figure out it was a virus after 3 times!
 
Like the man says, you have been infected by a worm or virus of some kind.

There are a number of free virus removal tools available on the Internet from reputable folks like Symantec and AVG.

Whatever you do, purchase, install, and keep current some kind of virus protection!
 
Look Zynr. Everyone doesn't understand computers. This person is asking a perfectly valid question. Don't act like such a know-it-all. Try answering politely.
