That's exactly why nobody should use poor email systems such as hotmail - always getting some cr4p sent to you.

Yeah bloody Hotmail users fault for having an address which can be guessed. They should all have user names like 101ppnsyr@n34iu.com, that would solve the problem.

Use the junk mail, blocked mail and custom filters provided by Hotmail. I've had a Hotmail address for years now and find that using all the above I rarely get spam in my inbox. One good thing is that all Hotmail attachments are scanned for viruses using McAfee so even if the mail contained a virus it wouldn't reach your inbox. Have a look here to see if you can find it.

Removing the POP3 facility unless you pay up was a nice touch as well!

Thanks
