run malwarebytes, what does it say?
Can someone help me figure out how this happened?
I purchased 8 bitcoins today and had them sent to my bitcoin-qt wallet, I got an email saying they have been sent so open it up and see they have arrived but are unconfirmed, so I come back an hour or so later to find that they have already been sent from my address to another address that I do not own (afaik, unless I am missing something here) and my balance is now at 0 bitcoins.
How the hell does this happen? I expect there is no way to recover those coins now? It's at 3/6 confirmations now for this new address... Am I screwed? I'm pretty careful about downloading anything that could be malware or clicking links etc so I have no idea how this happened? Is there anything I can do now?

Dam what OS are you running? Vista?
If you are screwed or not nobody can say.
I would say you have malware on your computer, if it really happened as you described.
TX ID's, do you have them? You can double click the transactions on Bitcoin-qt and it will show you the details, including the TX ID
