Re: Hotmail Question
i had this problem when using multiple desktops, if MSN Messenger was open on one desktop and then you tried to open hotmail on another it would do exactly as you say.

Are you running the lastest version of I.E?
Is your system up to date with relevant service packs/patches etc, & also free of spyware?

Re: Hotmail Question
Does this only happen when viewing hotmail?
As neil says, run adaware or something to be sure your system is free of spyware as I'd hazard a guess that thats whats causing the problem.

Re: Hotmail Question
This sounds like you may have a "zombie" virus on your system and it's using your connection to forward spam!
I'd suggest a good virus checking and having a careful look at what processes are running when you have IE open.

Re: Hotmail Question
Viruses and spyware are different. Use the software suggested by Steve H to scan for spyware.
