The trouble with Hotmail is that it's an online email system, so you don't get to preview the messages and, once you've been hacked, all your contacts then get spammed with what appears to be your address and they, in turn, then have their address book compromised if they are on Hotmail. This then results in loads of people suggesting to you that your PC has been compromised, when it's actually the MSN/Hotmail/Microsoft system that's been compromised... All in all, Hotmail is now not worth the hassle to me so I'm abandoning it once and for all. Fortunately, this email account is on my PC, so I can detect and spot the attempts to hack before they get chance to do any damage. Dave (G0DJA)
