    Thought I'd share with you...

    Hotmail/MSN messenger account hacked.

    Got hacked last night but I got it back, they'd block & deleted everyone but I thought fair play, change my password & security questions and that'll be the end of it.

    Hacked again just now, so I've just closed my account... mainly to prevent any of my contacts being hacked and him/her pretending to be me.

    What a childish thing to do though, heh.

    Life goes on :D

    Did you accept any files? I thought msn was pretty safe except for the file sharing..

    No I know lots of people get hacked that way...

    The only thing I could guess was my security questions... but I changed them...

    Maybe I have a keylogger or something.

    Who knows!

    None of my other hotmail accounts have been hacked though.

    Just annoying, lot's of my online buddies were on that list.

    I had to cancel my account though...

    The person was talking to people pretending to be me lol what a tard! :p

    Silly me has no virus scanning software...

    Whoooooops lol.... Didn't have a firewall turned on either.

    It's on now though... can anyone reccommend a good free virus scanner?

    Much appreciated...

    Also has anybody else encountered this before?

    Maybe it would be good to give a bit of advise for anyone else it could happen to.

    I know who's done it to me now... a old "best friend"

    I lived in the North East of England with him for a bit, and he changed my post/zip code to one in the North East.. What a noob... I'm not even going to stoop to his level tbh.

    @scottlpool2003: AVG is a pretty good free one :)

    I used AVG but it ran out :(

    Bummer!

    Lol

    Any others?

    I've tried quite a few before but most of them are spyware themselves so I need to be careful lol :p

    AVG doesn't run out on the free version lol. It runs out with the free trial on full features. Basic AVG is completely free :). Oh you could try AvAdvance - download link here http://avadvance.com/index.asp?domain=Download-AntiVirus-Now
