monsieurhappy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I only noticed this yesterday so I don't know how long this unwanted contact as been on my list. When I'm in hotmail and want to send email I click on "new" at top to open new email heading. Then I click "To" to find contact and email address. All my contacts and their addresses are there but when I get to the bottom of the list I find an unwanted contact with no address. The contact is "Girls Gone Chat" Now before you all start giving me grief about dating sites etc. I do not use these sites and never have! I am the only person using my computer. I know I will never click on this contact but I am worried that if I ever use the "select all" function to send a general email to all my contacts, then this unwanted one will attach itself to that. I have a feeling that this might be how I picked it up in the first place. Anyway, if I access the contact list that I can edit so that I can delete this unwanted contact it no longer appears on the list. How can I get rid of this unwanted contact? Is it a bug, a virus, malware or something that's been added by hotmail? Can it cause any problems if it's left there? I do a virus scam and bott check every week. Thanks.

ricklev Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 It's a hotmail seurity issue. Usually if you go to invitations and decline all invitations you can get rid of it. Google will give you furher directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I stopped using HOTMAIL two years ago after my contact list was hijacked and everyone on it got deluged in spam. I had to send apologies to many pissed-off friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
