Hi Rhino,
MSN is going through a very bad patch at the moment, they changed the layout last week because they want to try and keep users (sounds stupid but then there are stupid people).
I took it apon myself to find out how bad the situation was, it was simple, I was to set up my own hotmail account (I felt sick) and leave it occasional signing in to keep it active... I never signed to any promotions etc with the address...
Four days into account I had 72 unread emails (free sex...)
Twenty days into account I had over 320 email!
Seventy Two days into account I hat 722 unread emails.
Microsoft have admitted to outsiders getting all email addresses and files, infact Hotmail is going through hell at the moment, with facts showing one in three hotmail users have had a direct virus problem stemming from their own hotmail account.
Smily faces anyone? This stupid simple virus confused many people and without even accepting it it would take over your messenger! Hang on? Without even accepting it?
The bottom line in my account is!
MSN IS A VIRUS!
You have been warned!

there is a text message scam going around. If you get a message saying phone me with a number then the initials KB then don't phone the number as it costs alot and all they do is answer your call and a engaged dialing tone can be heard but they charge you to listen to it.
Yeah, there is a virus going round. Got this at work this morning:
Description:
W32/Sircam-A is a network-aware worm. The worm spreads via email and by using open network shares. The worm arrives in an email with a random subject and body text.
The attached filename is also randomly chosen, but it has a
double extension (for instance, .doc.com or .mpg.pif).
If the attachment is opened, the worm copies itself into the
Windows System directory with the filename scam32.exe. The worm also copies itself as a file called sirc32.exe to the Recycled files directory with its file attributes set to hidden.
The worm changes the registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft \Windows\CurrentVersion \Run Services\Driver32 so that it runs on Windows startup. The registry key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes \exefile\shell\open\command is also changed so that the worm runs before any other executable file is opened.
If the worm finds any open network share, it will attempt to
copy itself into the Windows directory on the machine with an open share, with the filename rundll32.exe. The original
rundll32.exe file is renamed to run32.exe. If this is
successful, the worm changes the file autoexec.bat so that it includes a command to run the worm file previously dropped to
the Windows directory.
The worm contains its own SMTP routine which is used to send
email messages to email addresses found in the Windows address book and the temporary internet folder, where cached internet files are kept.
