Hi, I cant login in to hotmail. Everytime I login it prompts me to type a security code. I do so then it asks for my email again. After doing that it prompts me to write a security code and so on... I think this might be a phishing scam to get my password but im not sure. I've deleted all my browser cookies to see if it helps but to no avail. here is the site it redirects to:
http://hipservice.passport.net/forcehip.srf?id=2&ru=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2ehotmail%2emsn%2ecom%2fcgi%2dbin%2fsbox&tk=6AAAAAAAAH%21CEx7raXo%2a8No3rA8rNam%2aDT0pte4wHjeIejKepoWqxHsGjNizyqca48Tc%2anyzGpjkE%24&lc=1033

I really dont think this is hotmail's own. Can anyone help i really need to access my email and i cant make new one as i run my business from this for now.

I have had this problem myself, I found it an issue with my IE. Although it may not be the same problem as you have. Here are two things I did to repair the problem.


First being to reinstall IE 6.0 (make sure your operating system are up-to-date first)

If that doesnt work try reinstalling / repairing your winsock with this tool.

I did those two steps and it worked for me.
Let me know after tring these if it worked or not, it is nice for future reference, and if it fails, there are different options you could try.
