    my hotmail was hijacked on sunday, and has been sending e-mails out to my contacts asking for money saying that I am stuck in England! when I logged to this site yesterday, this hacker had logged onto this site using my old login name through my hotmail account name! is there anything I can do? MSN support were no help three calls and 5 e-mails and no response, just telling me to fill out form for msn support which I did five times and no response! the password and secret question have been changed! I can't even log in to cancel this account which I have had for about ten years! any ideas???

    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Please physically unplug this computer from the web.
    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.


    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.


    You need to use a different computer to send notification to your webmail hosts and create new accounts with diff. passwords and user names. Do not use this computer.
