| 573238 | 2007-07-27 06:50:00 | Hi all Just this afternoon when I tried to access my inbox in hotmail my avast pops up with a warning with the details below: ------------- A Virus was found File name: . bay112 . hotmail . msn . com/cgi-bin/HoTMaiL?fti=yes&c . . . " target="_blank">by112fd . bay112 . hotmail . msn . com Malware name: VBS: Malware [Script] Malware type: Virus/Worm VPS version: 00761-0,07/27/2007 Option available: Abort connection . ------------- I was just wondering whats up with this? The Hotmail inbox can still load up after aborting the connection . Everything seem to work fine except for I can no longer delete emails from the inbox page but I can still delete the emails within the email page itself . Tried with both FF and IE7, both pop up with that same warning from Avast . Btw did a full Ad-aware & Spybot scan, nothing found . Any tips or suggestions? Many thanks |

| 573239 | 2007-07-27 08:10:00 | I worked on a puter this afternoon with the same problem, after an hour trying to get rid of it I went back to hotmail and it's been changed to Windows Live Mail, no more problems. Might have been a virus on their web page cos it's not there now. | intel hunter (6666) | ||
