I thing I have some phishing going on, there has been some emails going around that I haven't sent plus getting emails from friends who haven't sent them, what to do?

I think I have some phishing going on, there has been some emails I have received from people I know that haven't been sent also people have said I've sent out some when I haven't , how do I investigate this?

What you describe is generally not an issue with your computer. Everyone gets phishing e-mails unless you or your ISP has blocked them.
As for e-mails from friends that they didn't send, these are usually because someone insists on putting 200 address in their e-mails with a link to a cat video. If people used distribution lists or the bcc field for mass mailings, the chance of this is reduced. Probably one of your frineds has a Windows virus that is stealing e-mail addresses, or their hotmail. msn, or outlook account has been hacked.
You probably don't need to do anything from your end
