Solved: I Cannot Open My Hotmail Accounts!!!

[dshahen]

I have three different Hotmail email accounts. All three worked fine this morning, this afternoon all three had password problems, and the secret question/answer has been changed! What do I do? I swear someone is using one of those programs that I see where you can hack into someone's computer remotely. I frequently lose resources for no apparent reason. For all three accounts to have password problems seems impossible. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Donna

Hi dshahen

Try this trojan port scan :-

Do you have a firewall ?

Thank you for replying so quickly. I ran the scan twice and each time it came back, "Scan complete! 356 ports scanned 0 open ports found".

Now what? Oh this is very irritating. I do appreciate your assistance.

I've been digging but i haven't come up with anything yet

This is a search I've been looking through at google - maybe if you look yourself you might find something :-

You might also want to check your PC for a key logger. There are some loggers that will record every key stroke and send the results out via email.

After reading Rockn's post - it wont do any harm to run an on-line scan for viruses - bugbear for one puts a keylogger on your comp

I'm not suggesting you have a virus - but a scan wont hurt :-
