It's not a virus or malware. Your password has been hacked/stolen. Change it for a long random string and keep changing it frequently. My recommendation would be to stop using hotmail completely. It is a cesspool of spammers and botnets. Try gmail, if you must use a web mail. Also, never use the same pword for different things.
