Anybody have this problem with a free email?

A relative of mine had a hotmail account.

She noticed that when she clicked "to" to choose a mail recipient from her contacts, in the contacts list there showed up some weird entries, all ending with "room." Such as "dirty sexy girl room. At first there was just one, then three such entries.

The weird entries didn't show up when the relative clicked to just look through the contact list.

Anyone else ever experience this?

I have to wonder if someone else in the household was getting on chat rooms.

3. Could be malware
Could also be that in her mail settings, the account automatically adds all senders to her contact list as well, she may not have set up her spam filters.
