Email sending out spam

Once upon a time (about 15 years ago!) our ISP was AOL, and as such my whole family have @aol.com emails. I don't use my @aol.com email too often, but it's used for a lot of website registrations etc.

Over the past 6 months, this email has been sending out spam about once a month for no apparent reason. I have changed my password regularly to a complete random combination of letters, numbers, symbols etc but it still continues to send spam every few weeks. Virus scans etc have picked up nothing.

I haven't visited any of the websites it's been spamming, but they don't appear to be anything too awful (thankfully).

Any idea how this email address is still sending out spam? There's no way they can be guessing my password and it isn't a virus on my PC. I'm completely confused
