Cannot remove a person in my Hotmail contact list that I see when I press on the "to:".
I have a virus in my Hotmail account and someone put their name in my list of contacts without an e-mail address. I see when I open my contacts list when you press the button to, but do not see it when you go to the contacts list. How can I remove this name?
Hi ToddBercovitch,
· Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?
· What is the operating system installed?
Given that the problem is related to Windows Live, you can send your request to the Windows Live Solution Center .
Hotmail - Windows Live Solution Center Portal
You can also run the Microsoft safety for any infection by virus Scanner. Check out the following link to do the same thing.
Microsoft Safety Scanner - free online tool for PC health and safety
I suggest that you download and install Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it helps.

Hello
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and

I have this undelieverd more of 30 e-mail that link that contains a Trojan horse. These have been posted because some stole my hotmail contacts list and mailed these stars in my name.
I realize, this is a free account, but there should be a way to prevent this from happening. I know he stole because I used only one of the contacts yesterday and I accidentally misspelled the address and did not notice that the mail bounced.
This is not only annoying, but a major concern for me because I use internet to Social Affairs and to promote my books.
I hold in my Inbox mailbox so that you can access that person. I will also make this post with the Crimes on Federal Internet site, called IC3.

In my Hotmail contact list there is an entry called FunRoom; it is in bold. I didn't add this to my list of contacts. and I can't remove it.

Contact "adultroom" appears in my Hotmail contact list. How can I delete?
"Adultroom" appears on my contacts list to my Hotmail account. How to remove from my list? It doesn't have an e-mail address. I tried a full scan for malware.
Hi GeraldKnecht,
(a) I recommend you run a virus scan online from the link given below and check if the problem persists.
Also, make sure that you have the latest update of the software antivirus installed on your computer, so that it works correctly.
(b) you can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.
In addition, post your question in the support forum for Windows Live Hotmail for assistance.

Deleting hotmail contacts - why drop still appear when I start typing in an address?
I know how to remove a contact from hotmail from my list and was recently when a friend changed her e-mail address. Then, I created a new contact for her.
However, when I start to type the name of the drop-down list box that appears includes also the old address and details that I already deleted the list of contacts.
How can I get rid of the old details from this drop-down list?
According to the Windows Live team, there is currently no way to remove items from the list recently used in Hotmail. It is a problem that Microsoft is aware of, but as the yet has no solution. Here is a link to the discussion on the Windows Live Solution Center: http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?threadid=aaa56055-ec6d-482e-b5a4-76d766d56048&page=1.

Problem with Hotmail. Usually when I start typing an address that is in my contact list, he fills automatically. Now I just get a circle going round and round. If I go to my contact list and select the address and click 'send email' will initially, it disappears in a second or two. To send a message, I have to enter the entire e-mail address in the field "to". This problem started about a week or two ago and doesn't happen when I connect to Hotmail using Internet Explorer.
It left me speechless. Still the same problem. I noticed that sometimes the auto-fill starts working for a few seconds, then I get the spinning wheel.
I will try to spend some time on it this weekend.
