Standard procedure in cases like this would indicate that you should change your email password immediately, at a minimum. You were prudent to run the malware scan. Depending on how seriously you take this stuff.

Virus and malware scans reveal nothing nasty so that may well point to a Dwellar having had his/her address book accessed.
