Gmail: Hacked, spoofed or what?

This afternoon my son alerted me to the fact that "I" had sent a link to a dubious weight loss product from my gmail account.

I immediately changed my password, then started investigating.

My Sent folder shows the same message sent to an odd assortment of addresses, all of which I recognize, but fortunately a very small percentage of my contacts. None of the messages contain my default signature. If the messages were just spoofing my address, how would they show up in my sent folder?

I've never shared my Google password.

I'm currently running Malwarebytes on my computer, and using another one to post here.
