For the last few days I have been having serious problems with windows live messenger. It will either not log me in at all or if it does when I try to appear online to contacts it will either throw me out of messenger altogether or it will show me off line to my contacts even though im showing as available.

 

Any help please. I have not changed anything with the settings or on my laptop. I need to get it sorted out asap as it is my only source of contact with someone very important.

 

Thanks

Hi,
I've received an email from 'MAIL' asking me to verify my details otherwise my email account will be deactivated. The source is 'Newssend .com' 
I am suspicious this is a phishing scam.
Advice welcomed.
Thanks

1/ If I view the “message source” for an email in my Hotmail account, is such viewing of the message source safe (lets assume the email itself is not safe or contains potentially unwanted code)?

2/ are emails with domains or links to “microsoft.windowslive.com” authentically from Micosoft/Hotmail? (as there is a bit of a debate about this on the net)
