Got a message from Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail Team saying I need to re-activate my account by clicking a provided link. It looks suspicious, so not sure if I should click it or not. I don't want to lose access to my hotmail account.

Help!!
Hotmail is blocking Feedburner so i can't confirm a subscription to a blog I want to follow.  how do I work around this????
No details. The title is the question/

Everything has changed color and format is all different.  Messages are not coming up??

I am using winows XP and have POP3 also for MS Outlook 2002 and Ourlook Express. New email appears in Yahoo Mail and is immediarely available in both these programmes but I usually have to wait 10  -15 minutes and sometimes longer ,for the same emails to be available in my Hotmail inbox.

For months I have been getting emails, allegedly from Hotmail such as the one below:

 

"....Due to increased spam and phishing activities globally, a DGTFX trojan virus has been detected in your windows live folders. Your email account will be upgraded with our new secure 1024-bit RSA key anti-virus firewall to prevent damage to our email servers and to your important files. Click your reply tab, fill the columns below and send back to us or your email account will be terminated to avoid spread of the virus..." and asking me to provide them with my user name, password, year of birth and country.

 I have responded to each of these requests with an email asking for a letter request and/or refusing to provide them with my password etc. 

I have never gotten a response - only these random emails...

Is this for real or is it a scam to hijack my account?

 

Thanks.
