Will it help not to have a contact address book. So that way presumably hackers cant send that spam shit to everyone in your email addy book?

It may be that you were not hacked. Your PC may have been hijacked. You opened a link in an email you received and let loose a program that spams your Contacts. Definately change your email passwords and don't even open any emails that have a faulty subject line or come from a 'friend' whose handle does not match the one in your Contacts.
