For all these issues, it would have been a bit easier to solve everyones problem if you all would have started new threads...

Now, with that said, has any person that has posted here checked into it being Virus/Malware related?

CHECK IT OUT

Do an online scan:
http://www.pandasoftware.com/actives..._principal.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/

If you have virus protection, make sure your DAT files are current, and that you scan your system often. Make sure it is set up to automatically scan incoming email, and scripts.

Check your system for malware:

AdAware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/
SpyBot - http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=mirrors

Install, Update and Run both. Remove whatever it finds.

Let the techs check it after that, so go get:

Hijack This - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/HijackThis.exe

Install, Run and post your log IN YOUR NEW THREAD for technical assessment.

i have the same problem as you. when i went to the microsoft messenger help, it said the security system (like norton)may not be allowing to connect. i don't know what to do either. if i uninstall norton, i am afraid i will be infected with viruses

i am waiting for some one to tell me a solution to fix the hotmail problem and also this internet problem i am having. it will not let me do any transactions and it is very frustrating. some one respond. thanks-buzzer : :cry:

hotmail is having some issues... here is a fix for now

Add your Hotmail account in Outlook Express (Tools, Accounts, Mail tab, Add-->Mail). Go through the wizard, and make sure you choose "HTTP" as the incoming mail server and "Hotmail" as the HTTP mail service provider on the Email Server Names screen. This has allowed me to download my messages from Hotmail.

I'm having the same problems with hotmail, however, according to USA today, they had a "minor" problem last friday that prevented a "substantial amount of users from accessing their service. They say they've got it fixed but I still can't get in to my account. I have been able to receive my "Hotmail" using Outlook express. I just added the hotmail account to the list along with my password and when I check my outlook box I get both my email accounts' msgs. I still can't get hotmail to load though. :rolleyes:

PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAED MESSAGE WHEN LOGGING INTO HOTMAIL FIX:



1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.


2. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the TOOLS menu, then
INTERNET OPTIONS, then click the ADVANCED tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is UNCHECKED(if it's CHECKED then UNCHECK IT). Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0' are CHECKED(if there UNCHECKED then CHECK them) then click OK.


3. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:


regsvr32 softpub.dll

(don't forget the "SPACE" between regsvr32 and softpub.dll)


then click OK

Then try signing into MSN Messenger and the Hotmail website again.
