Virus? Got some Questions.

Im gonna try to explain the situation step by step see if some1 can help me.
So i’ve been at my computer all the morning browsing internet and doing stuff, i havent downloaded anyhting not even a trusted program, 0.
Then when im about to logg into skype i notice that ‘‘i’’ have been spaming to all in my contacts a probably virus link in english and im swedish so i would never write in english to my friends.
My Avast havent said anything about any virus it was still in the corner working it wasent removed, my computer wasent acting wierd or anything. and the time stamp on the time was 2 houers
before i even logged in to skype that i sent the message. so my question is how, have the program been runing in the background of my computer ? have the skype been accessd from another computer? was it a keylogger cuz i had auto logg in on so nothing was given away. and nothing els was hacked/spamed more then skype, fb is OK, mail is OK, nothing just skype.

i already reversd my computer to Factory new settings changed pw on EVerything so no more damage done . the question is just how avast couldnt notice it and i’v only have been hacked once in my life before and that was on WoW(5 years ago) and same problem there no virus nothing. Any ideas just curious i must have goten it from a website but what was the mission of the virus in that case sence it gave it self away by spamming or have some1 jsut goten my pw and username by hacking skype i have no idea im so lost.

Sorry for my bad spelling but i hope you understand.
Thx!

. the question is just how avast couldnt notice it.......

No security program have 100% detection ..... if they did there would not be a malware problem

i already reversd my computer to Factory new settings.......

Meaning we cant get any logs and see what was in there
