Hi people, I have a problem, help would be appreciated.
Here goes:
I have 2 hotmail accounts one hotmail.com and one hotmail.co.uk, and yesterday i logged into my hotmail.co.uk account and had an email in my junk folder, which i opened as the title showed me they had got my email address from an apartment search website. The email was dodgy, from a man in Sierra Leone wanting to transfer 27 million dollars into my account etc.. so ib went to delete it and it didnt delete. Then my page froze and at the top said 'page not responding' So i had to press CTRL-ALT-DEL to end the task. I then tried logging into my hotmail.com account and it let me sign in successfully but then after a minute, the same happened, page not responding. Up until now i have had no problems with my hotmail accounts, and never received dodgy emails. I tried all last night and this morning but the same happens to both accounts, lets me log in then after a minute freezes. I dont have time to read my new emails because i cannot scroll down the pages.I also tried accessing my hotmail accounts from our other computer, but the same happened. My familys hotmail accounts are fine on both computers. I need to access my emails urgently as they have important info like my flight details etc which i need for thursday! Do you think I have a virus? What should i do now?
Thanks in advance.

Try downloading your inbox to outlook or thunderbird, this will clear your webmail, and should let you read all the mail you download.
Obviously be careful with any suspicious mails...

I doubt that you'll be able to download your Inbox to Outlook, because MSN/Hotmail stopped that on all new accounts a couple of years' ago.

Have a look here (http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html) for using webmail with Thunderbird
