An update. I tried to login today after a couple of days of inactivity and Hotmail says that my account has been blocked because of spam originating from it. I am guessing that the email address is being spoofed to send out the spam.

It isn’t just using the hotmail contacts, it has sent mail to addresses that it retrieved from my inbox and outbox as well.

Hi Rose, about your question re hotmail and changing your IPs – it has no control over your Internet connection so no, it cannot change your IP. From a security perspective, Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail are very equivalent. Each employs security details a little differently but from an overall security rating they do not differ very much. Gmail is probably the most proactive though.

Https is soo underrated, most sites, including this one does not show it in the URL window.Everyone thinks I’m nuts, but I keep a different password for email, facebook, youtube, twitter, etc. etc accounts. Funny how everyone tells you that it is sooooo easy to link all of them on yahoo or whatever. My answer is “no way” and I will continue to stand by that decision. I do have one question, someone told me the safest email was hotmail because it “changes your ip address every couple of seconds” is that so?

Bell Sympatico uses a 2-wire Gateway wireless modem.

It’s not on the list, but I think you can link a wireless printer via that modem.

Is there a way to set up the printer to be ‘safely’ linked to the modem ?

I assume Bell has a security code to apply, or does it.

Thank you.

Got this virus today via a trusted e mail adress on outlook. Luckily I use my hotmail adress only for contacts I do not trust. So, in,my case, no damage done.

Obviously this is not recognised as a virus by the anti virus/spam programs.
