Why Are Hotmail Accounts Showing Up With Porn Contacts In The To: Menu?

I am not alone in this and it is a recent happening. When we click on the TO: button in an email to add an address to an email at the bottom of the legitimate contacts added, are porn contact: adult room, kinky chat, naked chat etc. all in bold but with no actual address to the right of them. They are in bold and not in alphabetical order like the legit contacts. They are not in my contact list so I am unable to remove them and I have never clicked on an email even closely related to content of this sort. Did hotmail get hacked again? How do we get rid of these.

click on windows live and go back to the main page that you see before you go to your inbox. There should be a link that says "connections" or "friend requests" click on that link and decline the people or groups trying to connect to you.
This should resolve the problem.
