I have received several delivery notifications of porn spam I never sent to a
winger_65. I do not know this person. I ran antispyware and malware and
nothing is found. How do I prevent this from reoccuring? I have contacted
hotmail support but, nothing but, auto response that does not address this
issue. Has my account been hacked and using me as a pigeon to distribute?

Very probably, these emails were not sent from your account. Spammers often
use random addresses for the sender (taken from their list of recipients),
and the current email protocol (SMTP) doesn't provide any authentication,
especially if a open (misconfigured) SMTP server is used. Cryptographic
signatures are the only way to have a reasonably strong proof of the
identity of the sender.
Unless you have a specific reason to think that these mails were sent from
your account (e.g. after a close examination of email headers in the bounced
messages), you should simply ignore them. This is not unusual, and the worse
effect is that your mailbox will probably be flooded with such bounces for
some time. If hotmail permits it, try to filter them out.
