I received an e-mail from a trusted friend this am. It was marked PRIVATE. Of course I opened it and on doing so set in motion an e-mail to all on my contact list. (I'm sure my friend had done the same thing). I immediately informed all on my contact list to ignore any e-mail from me that said PRIVATE. I then contacted People Abuse of Microsoft and explained the problem. They are to report to me via e-mail. BUT I can't get into my e-mail now because internet Explorer says they cannot display the webpage.

My next concern was to change my password for my e-mail and get a new hotmail address, BUT Microsoft is asking some very personal questions and I'm afraid to answer them as I wonder how secure my site is. I really need my e-mail. If anyone has a good answer please go to OT.

My next thought is whether or not I should phone the Fraud Squad of the police.

Any help is much appreciated.
