Hotmail

Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2007 11:11 am Post subject: HOTMAIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone else having problems with Hotmail today. My computer gets a warning of a worm virus from Avast antivirus saying that it has not entered the computer and offering a variety of fixes none of which work. I can still access hotmail via messenger as long as I dont go to the Inbox. My son tried his hotmail account on my computer and got the same result. I have deleted temporary internet files. My son thinks it could be a problem with the ISP. Any ideas anyone. The computer works fine otherwise

No problem with Hotmail here.

What worm has Avast identified?

It's OK. I have checked with my friendly computer shop and it's a Hotmail problem around here. Some-one obviously trying to infect peoples' computers. Why do people do it?
