I have just checked my hotmail account and have had something send a message to a lot of my contacts, some spam entitled re:friend. When i logged onto my msn account all my contacts have been delted from msn and hotmail.

This is obv slightly concerning what is my course of action?

fwiw i don't remember downloading anything dodgy and all my poker accounts are attached to a different email addy.

Very strange longy
Theres loads of stuff that mucks about in your outlook/email programs but ive not heard of anything affecting web-based mail and msn.

Id be emailing their support asap

Dont hold your breath though, their reponses are about as useful as a chocolate teapot, but not as tasty obv.

Yeah done that and had a google search for the problem

It is a trojan horse and have managed to install spybot search and destroy to get rid of it. Bloody annoying nevertheless.

Where did it come from?

Have you reassessed if your security is adequate?
