Default Help! My address was stolen!

Someone is using my email address to send their trash to me and who knows who else. When I say trash I mean the kind that makes me blush.

At first things arrived in my junk folder as "MyAddy"@email.msn.com. This is my address minus the email dot part. I got two or three pieces that way. I never opened them just made a mental note that I had to look into this and deleted them.

Today the trash arrived in my junk folder addressed "MyAddy"@msn.com. That is the exact address I use and give to others. The subject content put it in my junk folder.

What do I do now?! How do I stop this unauthorized use of my address? How did this happen in the first place? I have current antivirus, firewall, and run spyware scans from time to time. What other personal info does this thief have of mine?! Help!!!
