Angry Anyone else having trouble with Hotmail today?

Hi,
It is not a comp related thread hence being here
Is there a virus going round that basically freezes your hotmail account as soon as you log in? Spoke to my bro and it has happened to him aswell

Switched to Firefox, and it works. I have sent hotmail an email from another account. I wonder what Mr Gates sends me back.

Been using hotmail on internet IE at work, yes it does keep locking up. If you leave it for 30 seconds it comes up saying there is a script error then it all seems fine...until you open up your next email that is Same all over again!

Interesting! as someone else I know uses theirs regularly and hardly gets any spam either and they have an "_" in their login name.

I have never used mine I only have it as I use MSN Messenger, but it is full of spam mails.

I'm pretty sure it's the case.

My Ex Girlfriend was getting wound up with the amount of spam she was getting, put a _ in at and it all stopped.

imagine spammers use an email version of a dialer that tries different letter combintations, obviously doesnt try them with a '_'

Wez's top tip for the day!

Mine WAS fine. Now, every time I log on, it just "hangs" the computer.
