Comment: When I tried to check my e-mail today the page stopped loading and had this little yellow box pop at the bottom saying http://by138.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bi... [some more jargon numbers] =yes contains C:\Users\Ken\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\content.ie5\TPC702MX\Hotmail[1].htm contains sample of VBS.Malware [Script]!
anyone care to explain?? I ran spybot and ad-aware they didn't find anything. So I decided to just use firefox log in and press stop before it goes to the "Cannot display page" thing.
What I want to know is why I can't view my E-mail and should I do another spybot/ad-aware scan since I visited hotmail anyway even with the warning

Reply: (edit)ok nvm this, turned out hotmail was just updating to windows live mail. The VBS:Malware warning was kinda creeped the heck out of me though :)
