Added controls for email spam within Windows Live Mail

Have recently begun to have 20 or so spam emails (mostly designated BULK) arrive in both INBOX & JUNK MAIL BOX.  I do employ the junk email rules available already.  Am using a laptop with WINDOWS 7.  What additional actions can be taken to prevent unwanted emails from arriving at computer?

‘Unnamed’ entries in my contact directory (suspect this allows remote bots to send spam mail directly into my in-box)

I have about 20-30 '(Unnamed)' entries in my contact directory/address book, which I suspect is allowing remote accounts to email spam directly into my in-box. I tried deleting them, but I get a warning dialog box with following: "Some of there contacts come from another service and can't be deleted. Would you like to just delete the Outlook and Messenger contacts?". Net, I suspect my contact directory/addressbook has been hacked with these records which allow remote bots to spam junk mail directly into my in-box folder. How do I get rid of these entries?
