It would appear your account was hacked and the auto-signature set up
to advertise the spammer. Change your password, secret question, and
secondary e-mail, along with your signature to take that off. Also,
you probably have the vacation auto-responder turned on to send it
out.

You were spam attacked. Change your password ASAP.
Also, if you're using Firefox, install WOT (http://www.mywot.com/). WOT just told me that the website linked in your signature is VERY BAD and should not be clicked on (poor site reputation)

jlestel,
The only way they can hack into your account is by finding out your
password.
If you had used an ordinary word or name, then with the amount of
computing power available these days that could take less than 15
minutes to run through the entire dictionary!
Reset your password to be 'at least 12 alphanumeric characters' (and
preferably 16!) something which is not a dictionary word (either
forwards or backwards!), and reset your Security question so that it's
a question you write that ONLY you are ever likely to know the true
answer!
Also, set up your secondary e-mail address - so that if someone tries
to reset your password again, the notification goes to your secondary
address.
Once you have control restored, make sure that there are no Trojans or
Filters set to forward any messages, no Out of Office responders that
have been left lurking!
How they hack your account is of little consequence - it's the result
of the hack you need to worry about!
And as I said at the start, the only way to stop them is to make it
nigh on impossible for them to find out your password!
