Has anyone else received this e-mail?
I got several from contacts, that said this:
"Hiya
You might wanna understand not everyone is like you :o
anyway look here..
Get a free e-mail account with Hotmail. Sign-up now."
'anyway look here...' is a link which i didn't click. Several of my friends got exactly the same e-mail, I was just wondering if it was the same with anyone else...

Many have gotten it, Hayden, it is spam. I would guess that several of your contacts E-mail accounts have been compromised, or they picked up a virus.
You need to tell your friends that they need to immediately have their computer checked for a 'bug' or 'bugs.' If they have the proper programs, they can do the scans themselves, if not they need to take their computer to some one who can.
Once it is clean of pests, they needs to install a firewall and an anti-virus program if they do not have one yet.
I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also.
After they finishes this, then they need to go in and change their password, using a good strong one.
Also, they need to go in and check their account information and make sure no information was changed, if it was change it back immediately. Then, they need to inform all their contacts that it was not them sending that mail, but that they will need to check their computers in case they were also infected. That includes you!

It's a SCAM - DELETE IT. If you want an Hotmail e-mail account for free - nobody pays for them - got to the Hotmail site and sign up.

i haven't had any emails for days now. i detect it so monotonous having to maintain click on my profile to locate Contacts' questions. i do no longer think of that's a refresh concern, that's a Yahoo concern. they actually might desire to get the hamsters working around on the wheels somewhat swifter!
