HI,
I am using Windows Live E-mail, through Frontier who recently switched to Yahoo. Shortly after my windows was corrupted so the computer manufacture sent me another copy of Windows 7, I have loaded everything, including restored my files. I have a Lenova 64
bit, Windows 7 Home. I normally use webmail but on this account I used Windows Live and Frontier says they can not recover my folders. It was suggested that it might be in my backup drive but I would need to know the default location for my Windows Live
folders. Does anyone know where the folders are stored? In lieu of that, any suggestions as to how I might get my windows live mail folders back? Note everthing I have found says I should post windows live mail to the outlook.com, Skydive, but I dont see
Windows live e-mail listed, so I hope I'm in the correct forum.
Thanks in advance

I have received an e-mail from (removed for security reasons) advising that a "DGTFX Trojan virus" has been detected in my windows live folders. They require my user name & password so that my account can be "upgraded to a new 1024-bit RSA key anti-virus firewall". They further advise that my e-mail account will be terminated if I do not respond..Can you please adivse if this is a legitimate e-mail to which I should respond.
I just recieved an email from "hotmail customer cre(*** Email address is removed for privacy ***) They say a trojan virus has been detected in my windows live folders and Y should click the reply tab and fill in all my user name, pass word year of birth and country in order for them to upgrade my account with the new secure 1024 bit key anti virus firewall. Is this legitimate. The subject line says, "Email Alert (Verigy Now!!)
For months I have been getting emails, allegedly from Hotmail such as the one below:
"....Due to increased spam and phishing activities globally, a DGTFX trojan virus has been detected in your windows live folders. Your email account will be upgraded with our new secure 1024-bit RSA key anti-virus firewall to prevent damage to our email servers and to your important files. Click your reply tab, fill the columns below and send back to us or your email account will be terminated to avoid spread of the virus..." and asking me to provide them with my user name, password, year of birth and country.
I have responded to each of these requests with an email asking for a letter request and/or refusing to provide them with my password etc.
I have never gotten a response - only these random emails...
Is this for real or is it a scam to hijack my account?
Thanks.
