Hotmail Screwed Up

I received an e-mail a week or so ago supposedly from Hotmail Staff about
updating information.When I clicked on the link ( yes I know I shouldn't
have,must have been asleep !! ) it said "Bad Request ( Invalid URL ),no
passwords or other information etc. were given.I am using using Firefox on
XP Pro.

Ever since this time I can't get into my Hotmail account via a genuine link
that works perfectly OK for my wifes account.I sign in,go to the Match The
Picture contraption,fill this out,then it goes back to sign in,Match the
Picture and so on in a never ending loop.

Also since the e-mail every Hotmail folder in OE vanished.I can't delete
this e-mail.I have scrubbed the account,set it up again,deleted all the
Hotmail .dbx files,run every virus scan and spyware/trojan finder I can find
( all clean ),contacted Hotmail ( useless ).The e-mail still returns.

I imagine I have been infiltrated somehow.Has anyone any idea how I can get
rid of this e-mail and get back into my Hotmail account.

Thanks,

Sam Salt

Looks like others are having a similar problem. The solution could be
as simple as deleting cookies??

Hotmail is going out of business soon. All of the telltale signs are there.
So suggest you hitch your cart to a rising star like gmail.

How do I apply for a gmail account? I personally don't know anyone with
gmail. Is it widely available?
