The same thing happemed to me on my Hotmail account. Hotmail support didn't help - useless! I "googled" the problem and used the best of what I found.
I took severa;l steps and now it has stopped.
1. Restore your computer to a date before it started happening.
2. Run a full/complkete scan of your computer with your antivirus software.
3. Run a malware problem. I used Malwarebytes Anti Maleware (free).
4. Run an anti-spyware program. I used SUPERAntiSpyware (free).
5. Change your email password.
GOOD LUCK!
