From: Ricky Hunt on 4 Aug 2010 00:58 Sue, Thanks. I've scanned my computer for viruses, malware, spyware, adware, etc. and every thing comes up clean. How would it get access to the Contact List on Hotmail/Windows Live? I've been out of "this game" so long I'm not up on the latest. Will change PSW ASAP. TFAYH. (I thought I had just made that last one up: "thanks for all your help" for the clueless like me, but sure enough it already existed). Here's a few new ones I like. SSEWBA - Someday Soon, Everything Will Be Acronyms and IDKWTHHTEBTYG - I dont know what the heck happened to English, but there you go. CYASOO.

From: Sue Morton on 4 Aug 2010 07:46 Ricky, try logging in to hotmail the 'old way' -- via the web and not through windows live mail. Your address book for hotmail is inside your account there. The spammer gained access to your hotmail account. Primary thing is to change your hotmail account password ASAP. -- Sue Morton "Ricky Hunt" <rhunt22(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:-KOdnbswVJeBacXRnZ2dnUVZ_rydnZ2d(a)mchsi.com... > Sue, > > Thanks.

From: Ricky Hunt on 8 Aug 2010 03:33 Sue, I can't find the "old" way. No matter what I enter: www.hotmail.com, etc. it takes me to Windows Live (which is via the web too).

From: Sue Morton on 8 Aug 2010 10:49 That means your address book in Windows Live *is* your hotmail account address book.
