HELP! I’m receiving the same message every minute from a contact.

16. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: clockwork, help, problem, type, virus

I'm receiving the same message every minute from a secure contact. His message is a Reply to a message I sent him earlier. But now, his message is coming into my Windows Live Inbox every minute, like clockwork. How can I make it stop or do I have some type of virus? I wasn't sure if the problem is on his end or mine. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Is this a trick or is it really from Hotmail team?

I was sent an email saying that my account has been compromised. It is asking for my log in, password, birthdate, and country.

I have been told that the true Hotmail Team would not be asking for these items.

What email can I forward this hacker email to for security follow up?

Private Message virus changes Hotmail account password – cannot recover account

05. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: access, cannot, password, person, virus

I inadvertantly opened a "private message" email from a known person and typed my hotmail account password into the box which appeared to be a typical MS hotmail page. Once I did this, my hotmail account launched an email to everyone in my contacts and reset my password so I can no longer access my account. I have attempted many times to use MS Hotmail tools to try and recover my account but none have been successful. Each time I try to reset my password from my hacked account, it resets the password on my alternative account. I have now given up on trying to recover my original (hacked) hotmail account and resigned myself to having lost 10 years of important emails and business infomation. It is a good reminder about how fickle the E-world really is.

Virus in Hotmail – Windows 7

Original Title : Virus

I have a problem with Windows Hotmail account. It is telling me that I have sent a "private message" to most in my address book however I haven't. It appears to be a virus however the microsoft scanner and Bullguard scanner are not identifying it. What do I do?

windows live messenger constantly tells me I need to update, even though automatic updates are on.

24. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: automatic updates, message, Messnger, virus, vista, Windows, Windows Live Messenger, windows Updates, Windows Vista

I am running windows vista, and I keep getting a message (about every 10 minutes) that pops up and tells me I need to update Messnger. Windows updates tells me that no new updates are available, but the message keeps appearing. I am concerned that this could be a virus. How do I get rid of it?
