I have a question about hotmail...I have several emails in my hotmail account that I would like to keep private...I live with my brother and he has threatened to get into my hotmail account- the reasons are not important, I do let him use my laptop when Im at work, one day recently when I came home my laptop was gone, an hour later my brother came home with the laptop, he said he had it down to the computer shop because he picked up a virus and wanted to fix it before i got home...is there anyway he could gain access to my hotmail account without my password? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No, he can't access your account without the password. However, if you select the option to remember the password, then anyone who opens the web browser can get right to your account. Always log out and clear cookies and temp files.

Thanks so much for the advice!

Hi,
I'm not sure which operating system you have; but you could also set up a Limited Account for him so he can't install progs etc that you don't want.
