I am following suit in writing a blog about my recent email issues. For those of you who weren't aware, I opened an email from a trusted source and it had a link. Thinking nothing of it, I clicked the link, and since then my email has been spamming the link to all my contacts. I have run five different virus/malware/spyware programs and none of them have found anything on my computer, which leads me to believe that the website basically hacked my email account. So, for the time being, my new email address is the same as the old, just with gmail.com instead of hotmail.com. I actually set up the gmail account when I started this blog, and never really used it for much, but it will be my primary email from now on.
I am sad to be leaving the hotmail account because I have had it for fifteen years. I am working on a way to get it unhacked (haha I know that isn't a word but it works). Word to the wise: never click on a link unless you know for certain what you are clicking, even if it comes from somebody that you know!
