Answer 1

By the looks of things you have been 'phished' this means someone/hacking software has retieved your personal data and used that to access your account. The only way to get around this problem is to change your password using an alternate e-mail, or create a new hotmail. This will not affect your computer most likely, dont worry (:



Hotmail isnt the safest email software to use, alternates include gmail and yahoo.



Think yourself lucky! my mum got phished on her credit card details :S



hope I helped :D

Answer 3

Its not a virus you have been phished - someone has hacked into your email account. Change the password.

Answer 4

Additionally, if your computer has spyware, it could be used to constantly attack your email account and use it to forward emails from your account. Get a powerful Security Suite (I recommend Kaspersky) to prevent this from happening again.

Answer 5

hi , you need to change the password at once , if you keep silent about this , your account will be sold to the other person,even if you can find it back , you account will be banned temporary, so please hurry up .
