I totally missed out on the fact that my anti-viral program had expired and 'acquired' some malware in the time it took me to install MS Security Essentials. However, since this time, I've had a couple of events which led me to suspect that damage
had already been done - not least of which is the fact that I now can't log in to my Windows Live Mail or Messenger. I simply get a message saying I can't be signed in because the service is 'temporarily unavailable' and an error code of 80070005.
Trying to check this out as a bit of a dummy, I just find myself going round in circles and am worried that I may delete something meaningful in my efforts to repair it. Can anyone help please?
hotmail asked me if I wanted to change settings to only open emails as htmp. I said 'yes' but now cannot open video in hotmail. How do I reset?
my brother is sending me harressing emails(email address removed for security purpose) to my address (email address removed for security purpose)
Trying to use Hotmail with HTTPS?
As long as you're just reading and writing email, signing in with "https" gives you extra security.
But this extra security disappears if you check your calendar, edit a contact, or go to another site.
For the most secure connection, we strongly recommend that you change your settings to always use HTTPS.
I keep choosing this option and it keeps asking me most times I check my email. One step process is now a very annoying two step process, help!

How do we keep incoming e-mails unopened until we decide whether or not we want to read it. Each new e-mail is automatically displayed upon arrival, or when clicked on, or even when moved. What about security on an infected e-mail which opens whether
we want to read it or not. Have I missed some programming here?
Amazon at my request have cancelled and blocked that account.
Is it possible that they have the same Hotmail account as me? I have their home address as it was on the confirmation email from Amazon.
Is there anything I should do now? is the security of my account at risk?
