I understand that to check or change the Virus Protection Features in Windows Live Mail I need to click MENUS and then click SAFETY OPTIONS etc. My question is WHERE does the the MENU BUTTON appear on the screen ? 
about 99% of all messages i try to send generate a pop window stating ".....message rejected for spam or virus content...."  the error log displays error code -17099. the outgoing message finally goes, thru, but can take anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes.  anyone have experience?
I received the following email which I have since identified as a phishing scam. I was fooled, though, and clicked the link, which brought me to a white page saying 'No input file specified'

I didn't input any of my login details anywhere (I wasn't given the opportunity to), but does anyone know if by even clicking on this link I have received a virus or have been hacked or anything?

Thanks

My contacts have received strange email from me that I didn't send.  I use Norton 360 and have run an additional scan.  Can it be a Hotmail only virus?

I have recieved an email suppossedly from yahoo / MSN stating that my email address has won £1000,000  it asks me to contact the claims manager via an email address supplied, how do I verify the contents of this email I don't want to click on the email address if it is bogue as it may well be a virus. I do not want other people to fall for this scam and would like to pass it on to be investigated
I recieved an email in my hotmail telling me that my email files are infected with a virus and I need to respond to the email with new account information such as username and passwords name date...If I dont respond within a certain time my account will be deleted?????Is this authentic microsoft email or a hacker????
