Hi all.
When logging into my Hotmail, I enter my email addy, then my password. Then another window shows (this does not happen all the time) with the Windows Live logo top left, then it says.........
"We need to add some security information for your account"
"If you ever forget your password, we need a way to reach you to get your account back. We will only use this information you add below to protect you"
Then asks for.........
Phone number.
Alternative email address.
Security question....
What is your mothers maiden name (with the option to change it)
"Save"
Without entering any of the above requests, I click 'save' then I'm brought to my hotmail inbox. Do you think I have a nasty on my machine? I have run Avast and Spybot which do not flag anything. I'm running W7
Thanks.
