Had a very similar occurrence. Someone hacked into my ISP mail account and
sent messages out to those in my on line address book. Change your password
as COMCAST advised. Also, as long as you have an email address book on your
computer, empty the online address book and do not save addresses online.

others disagree with me. Comcast only told me to change the password on my
email account with them. Norton Security Suite says me computer is not
infected.
