samran Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Is anyone else having problems logging into their hotmail? When I sign in from the 'windows live hotmail' log in page, I get a page telling me "you don't have an inbox....yet" <deleted>? It says I should sign up for a new inbox, despite the fact that I've been using hotmail for more than 10 years now....bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabum Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 There are thousands of people around the world with this problem at the least right now. Here is a work around if you are desperate to get an email: Just sign into your account on hotmail. then type mobile hotmail in google, go to the mobile.live.com/hm/folder.aspx link and it should let you into your inbox I just did this and it works, gave me a mobile version of my inbox, you can also access your inbox from your phone automatically since it probably uses the mobile version.

rogerdee123 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I'm not allowed to start a new topic ..... So I'm posting here. The CONFICKER worm is the problem .... It activated itself about midnight last night read below .... (CNET) -- The Conficker worm is finally doing something--updating via peer-to-peer between infected computers and dropping a mystery payload on infected computers, Trend Micro said on Wednesday. This piece of computer code told the worm to activate on April 1, researchers found. Researchers were analyzing the code of the software that is being dropped onto infected computers but suspect that it is a keystroke logger or some other program designed to steal sensitive data off the machine, said David Perry, global director of security education at Trend Micro. The software appeared to be a .sys component hiding behind a rootkit, which is software that is designed to hide the fact that a computer has been compromised, according to Trend Micro. The software is heavily encrypted, which makes code analysis difficult, the researchers said. The worm also tries to connect to MySpace.com, MSN.com, eBay.com, CNN.com and AOL.com as a way to test that the computer has Internet connectivity, deletes all traces of itself in the host machine, and is set to shut down on May 3, according to the TrendLabs Malware Blog. Because infected computers are receiving the new component in a staggered manner rather than all at once there should be no disruption to the Web sites the computers visit, said Paul Ferguson, advanced threats researcher for Trend Micro. "After May 3, it shuts down and won't do any replication," Perry said. However, infected computers could still be remotely controlled to do something else, he added. On Tuesday night Trend Micro researchers noticed a new file in the Windows Temp folder and a huge encrypted TCP response from a known Conficker P2P IP node hosted in Korea. "As expected, the P2P communications of the Downad/Conficker botnet may have just been used to serve an update, and not via HTTP," the blog post says. "The Conficker/Downad P2P communications is now running in full swing!" In addition to adding the new propagation functionality, Conficker communicates with servers that are associated with the Waledac family of malware and its Storm botnet, according to a separate blog post by Trend Micro security researcher Rik Ferguson. The worm tries to access a known Waledac domain and download another encrypted file, the researchers said. Conficker.C failed to make a splash a week ago despite the fact that it was programmed to activate on April 1. It has infected between 3 million and 12 million computers, according to Perry. Initially, researchers thought they were seeing a new variant of the Conficker worm, but now they believe it is merely a new component of the worm. The worm spreads via a hole in Windows that Microsoft patched in October, as well as through removable storage devices and network shares with weak passwords. The worm disables security software and blocks access to security Web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Can't access Hotmail via Outlook Express. This happened a couple of days ago too but then, after logging in using a browser and clicking the box that says "don't display this message again" (a new message about extra storage), the problem went away. Doing that today didn't help. Couldn't automatically log in to ThaiVisa either - this thread came up as "Guest" and had to log in manually.

gk10002000 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 no problems here in Florida, USA. Some general comments. I am told by several people that the new version of MSN Messenger has lots of problems. Might be coincidental with the conficker virus thing or not. I have alternated email using yahoo. Comes in handy now and then. Over the years, hotmail is pretty good, but definitely has had some outages for a day or so a few times a year for various reasons.

Delete the above. Now working at 5:00 am. In fact, it's working so fast that I reckon either M$ have been doing something or the link to Hotmail was being worked on. I just picked up my emails and they came down quicker than I've ever seen before. But I'm still going to change all my subscriptions to Gmail. Had enough of this nonsense.
