Hotmail is about as secure as a paper bag, plenty of stuff on the net about hacked accounts.

Close the account and don't use it!

OK

I've told the guy to change his password and look towards dumping Hotmail but I am still receiving his emails on my Galaxy III but not my laptop

Why?

What do I need to do please?

[buksida]

Erm ... logout of it and uninstall the Hotmail app.

Thanks. it worked

Anyone out there that can help me with webpage design/advertising? My parents have a holiday cottage at home and they are dealing with a web developer but I don't understand his technical emails....
Any help would be reward with your favorite Thai beer......
Thanks,

Yep, check your PMs!

Host of problems!

I guess it's advisable to solve them one by one.

I have MALWAREBYTES installed on my pc.

When I run the scan, one object is detected.

I follow the procedure and have it removed.

HOWEVER - when I reboot and scan again, it's there again!

How can I get rid of it for good?

Vendor: PUP.Datamngr
Category: Regisytry Key
Item: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr...

I am puzzled, not actually being computer savvy.

Thanks!

Try spybot, they've finally release a new version and its pretty good: http://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors/

Thanks for that Buksi, I'd forgotten about Spybot. Running AVG and Malwarebytes normally and I must have forgotten it when buying a new laptop some years ago.

Major B. Spybot found 279 'problems' which are now immunised

Hello chaps,

thanks for the advice BUKSIDA.

Spybot has found at least 101 threats/items!

BUT it cannot erase/get rid of 3 high risk and 2 lesser threats!

I have contacted Spybot for help.

Hope they'll be able to fix it.

Kind regards,

MB

Actually I ran one or two additional safety programmes and discovered additional threats!

But NEW PROBLEM!

The top Favorites Bar has disappeared and so has the 'File Edit Tools Help' bar!

Does anyone know how I can restore them, in particular the latter?

Thanks!

Kind regards,

MB

[buksida]

Disappeared from what program?

If its Firefox just hit the 'alt' key!

[MajorBloodnok]

Buksida,

from the internet page!

Warm regards,

Mike

Hello folks,

perhaps I did not express myself clearly:

When I open my web homepage - Google.co.uk - or any other site,

the essential bar, second from top, "File Edit Tools Help" is no longer there.

How can I recover it?

Thanks!

Simply move your mouse to the area beside your tabs and right click. Then check the menu bar option.
