I had an MSN email account for years that was hacked into a year ago. I have filled out the online forms 50 times, but they can't verify it was my account because the hackers not only changed the password, but also the security question and contact phone number. I have proof it was my account, and I need it back for some emails I had on there for an upcoming court case. I have provided contacts, emails and everything else they should need to verify it was my account. Also, if you go to Spokeo email look up, and put in my hacked email address, it shows ME as the owner. Microsoft has been no help to me thus far. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING I HAVE EVER GONE THROUGH.
The advice given by Microsoft does not work and is totally useless. I have been trying to run Microsoft AutoUpdate to install the automatically downloaded update to 14.2.4 for my Office for Mac on my Mac-Book Air 2011 running OS.X Mountain Lion. My Office programs latest updates are 14.2.3.
When you try to run AutoUpdate Installer it wants me to Quit Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServices Agent so I followed the advice given on the Answers on Office for Mac pages about using Activity Monitor but when I follow the resolution using the Activity Monitor as soon as the applications are given the instruction to Quit or Force Quit they just start up again so there is no way of installing the update.

Is there any other way of switching them off, e.g. at StartUp so the Updates can be installed?

So currently I can not install any updates to the Office software including ones which involve Security issues. This is not good enough. Please advise solution?

Why have Microsoft not identified and resolved this issue already? It must affect more than just my Mac.
I would really like to have spell checking in Messenger. I have Windows Essentials 2012 installed on Windows 8, but it will not use the Windows 8 spell checker. The only Microsoft app to do so seems to be Internet Explorer.

    For example, I use Windows Live Mail and I have a hard time knowing whether my emails and/or storage folders are kept on my hard drive, "on the services", or both. Is there an easy way to determine this?
    We run Windows 7 on our Dell computer and use Microsoft Windows Live.  I would like to be able to access my Live email from a remote computer, but do not know how.  The computer and the Live was set up for us by another person and we are not aware of any sign-ons or passwords to allow us remote access.  Sorry not very computer literate.
