Hotmail users, beware !!!!

M$ changes user preferences on Hotmail without notifying users

If you use Hotmail, log in, go to User Prefs and find the boxes to uncheck. Unless you are looking for more :spam1:

Agreed! I'm sure hotmail is making craploads of money selling lists of addresses to porn sites!

It's funny because that's what everyone says about hotmail. But the only spam I ever get is from gamespy, and I think that might have been my own fault. And I don't have any of the junk mail filters working.

Though I think I would have been in for some if I hadn't done what the article said and gone to my profile and changed the settings, which sure enough were conveniently checked so my email address was available for everyone [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] .

Better check your cookies!

Thats where you get the spam from

If you are an active user of the web, surfing around alot, thoose cookies are going to be "ripped" and sold to any who is interested. Best way is to set spam filter to ridiculously hig, and make a safelist..

And get a cookie killer!

I actually get 1 of these every week. The subject says: New pill can increase the size of your dick by 1-3 cm! I hate hotmail.

IT always has a link to a porn website. I figured they got my email address from here!

I get that one several times a week. Many other as well, i keep getting offered viagra at low prices, porno adds. I dont even want to discuss what goes into the junk box. Its been like this since i got this account, i figure that someone must have had the same name and signed up to a lot of crap. But andrewas is my name, and if i keep using the same name then i might not forget it. at least, not as often.
