Daily Status Notification (failure)

Dear Sir/Madam, I've been getting a lot of so called "Daily Status Notification Failure" notices & it would appear that either some sort of adverts in French trying to sway me to investigate further by accessing their suggested sites &/ collecting all my personal addresses & then distributing back with pharmaceutical products. A situation most annoying not to mention embarrassing. I am categorically not peddling anything. According to some of those notifications, I am either sending them to my wife or to myself??? I've cleared all the addresses in my contacts list; can you please enlighten me as to what can done to eradicate this nuisance once & for all. In anticipation of an early but more importantly a favorable one, I thank you in advance. Yours faithfully Dilip Baumier

Hotmail accounts can get hijacked in a number of ways and are often used by thieves to spew spam, phishing messages and malware to everybody in the account’s address book. Along with its general Hotmail support portal, Microsoft has an article on recent reports of Hotmail account hijackings and what you can do to try and rescue your account.

If you can get to it, the first thing you should do is change the account’s password — and change it to a strong password made up of letters and numbers so it’s hard to guess. You should also update your machine’s security software and run a system scan to see if any viruses or malware from the hijackers has infected your computer. (If you have a PC and don’t have any security software, consider the free Microsoft Security Essentials program.

Microsoft’s Windows Live Solution Center also has a section devoted to account recovery and security with steps to take if you still have access to the compromised Hotmail account.

If you try all the suggested steps there and still can’t get back into your account, try the Windows Live ID Account Recovery page, which might help you reset your password by way of the secret question and answer you set up when you created the account, or by sending password information to the alternate e-mail account you supplied when signing up for the Hotmail account.
