    No,but thanks for the warning.
    Unless it might be like outlook or windows mail where click on tools,accounts and a click on the accounts and delete the new email account.

    Yeah, the Outlook er.. look, is rather blah.

    I had mine automatically switching itself to Outlook on its own every time I opened Hotmail a few months ago, it was rather annoying, because I'd switch it EVERY session, and give my reasons why I didn't want to use Outlook. Sounds like they are still trying to push it.

    Go to options > Switch back to Hotmail.

    Options is located at the top right hand corner of the screen.

    I don't know how you guys can even stand hotmail hotmail anymore. It has turned into easily one of the worst web email providers (that i've used anyway.) It's been that way for years now and every "update" just makes things worse.

    The "porn invites" happen regardless. These are people (bots really) fishing for you to join the site and pay. Most of the time this stuff just goes into the spam folder and you probably never notice it because of that.

    The real sick/sad part about it is,"IF" you would get one in Your inbox and click on any of the provided links,Your personal information is immediately stolen,passwords,credit card information and anything else they can hack into with any information that is in Your computer.
    I have mine computers set up so it clears cookies and history automatically,once a week and that helps.It is a bit of a pain reentering user names and passwords but it is better than having a whole bunch of stored up info.
    The best preventative measure is to just delete any questionable emails unless,it comes disguised as a paypal,ebay or seemingly from a credit card company,then,I forward those onto the appropiuate companies using "spoof "at sign" whatevercompany" is in question,they then will hack into the hackers and shut them down,well,momentarily any ways.LOL:

    You only need to use common sense.
    Don't click any link you receive in email. If the email is legit you can always log into your account and check. I never click any email link, ever. I even delete those i think are bogus (99%) without even opening them.

    I use microsoft outlook to read my hotmail email. It is faster and better than hotmail's system (which freezes and crashes)

    f ou have a internet security system,do a full system scan and see what it comes up with.then start Your computer in safe mode and do another system scan.Sometimes these things can really hide and it takes a complete writing zeros to the hard drive to clean "EVERYTHING" out then reload allk of the programs back in.
