Where can I find the filter (used years ago) to filter out unwanted e-mails by subject matter?

27. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: , , , , , , , ,
Years ago under Options there was an option for filtering out unwanted e-mails by highlighting suspicious words.  I used this but it appears to be preventing me from receiving "changed passwords". May I had put down "Password" as a suspicious word!  In the last month the Automobile Association, Virgin and Truprint send me e-mails with a changed password seeing that I had forgotten the original Not one has turned up - too much of a coincidence!

How can I clear a hacker from my MSN?

24. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,
My MSN messenger has been hacked and I can get rid of the offensive message in the update your friends box & the conversation that comes up when I talk to a friend.  MSN/Messenger continues to say that I am logged in two places, one of the places is obviously the hacker.  I have changed my password etc but can't get rid of the intruder. When I was going through all of the help stuff I did come across an option to close the account, but can't find it again. Any suggestions, please?

I changed my hotmail password on my PC. Now my iPad demands my hotmail password, never done this before. When I put in new password iPad says it is incorrect. Because of this iPad is blocked, cannot use it at all.

Password Reset?

20. June 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail · Tags: , , , ,
I have recently received several emails from 'Windows Live Team', sender being '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' asking me to verify whether I have requested for a password reset (which I have not).  There are two links provided for answer 'yes' and 'no' (which I have not dared to touch).  Is this spam or genuine?

Thanks!

detect a virus in email

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.
