How can I Report phishing e-mail whose sender says 'Windows Live Team', but I don't think is legitimate?

I received this email, which poses as Windows Live mail, but I doubt that it is legitimate. Is there a support email, that I can give him, so you can check?

Here's the e-mail:

    It is a common phishing e-mail - it's bin.

    The idea is in the links embedded in the headers of enamel and the request for information by e-mail

    Sites form of legitimate emails will NEVER ask for personal information by e-mail (unless you started the conversation) - they STILL will be asked to log in and do what is necessary.

  • How can I stop spam into my Inbox to in windows live mail

    I can't configure my windows live mail to set up so I don't get junk e-mail or spam in my Inbox. When I try to get help everything seems set with hotmail and non-windows live

    (WLM) Unique Windows Live Mail spam settings are on the configuration screen"Security Options"

    In WLM 2011

    ALT F > Options > Security Options

    If not use account type Hotmail with the HTTP in WLM, the "Security Options" is the only possible configuration for pop3 accounts.  FYI - your pop3 account provider can provide junk e-mail filter settings in the web interface of the account.

    If you have a Hotmail type account program WLM installation and the junk e-mail filter in the previous Hotmail web interface takes on the local WLM junk e-mail filter. To set up a filter spam from Hotmail type account

    -Login with your Hotmail username/pw account at http://mail.live.com or hotmail.com

    -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > filters and reports

    > Check 'Standard' or 'exclusive '.

    -Click Options (upper-right) > more Options > Safe and blocked senders

    > Configure each section (shippers, security mailing lists, the blocked sender) according to your specific preferences

    Note: A good amount of junk e-mail by spammers is sent with an addresess email sending false or often changed. Block a sender does not spam from appearing in your Inbox.  Caution when blocking a sender - test message properties to make sure you does not clog your e-mail address or an existing one comes into contact with address - since spammers can have forged headers (sender) with your or contact address.

  • How can I create groups"in my list of Contacts Windows Live Mail?

    I could easily create "Groups" for e-mailing to multiple receipents in Outlook Express.  Now with Windows Live Mail, it seems impossible.  Is there a way to create "groups" in WLM?  And, if so, why their No. easily accessible way to accomplish?

    Windows Live Mail does not groups, but you can get much the same effect by using the categories. Here are a few comments that should help you: what happened to contact groups? Although they are part of Windows Live Mail 2011, you should be able to adapt to the 2009 version.

  • How can I install outlook express I DO NOT LIKE WINDOWS LIVE MAIL

    I don't like windows live mail hoe can install express look?

    On Friday, November 2, 2012 17:59:29 + 0000, Billie Skov says:

    I don't like windows live mail

    I'm not either. I think it's the worst email program I've ever seen.

    But there are a lot of other choices of e-mail programs, some for sale
    and some are free.

    can hoe I install express look?

    You can not. Outlook Express disappeared for several years. Windows
    XP was the last version of Windows to include it.

    You have chosen to install Windows Live Mail or is it entered
    preinstalled on your computer? If your computer came with Windows 7
    pre-installed and also Windows Live Mail, which is not because Windows 7
    came with it, it is because your computer manufacturer delivered it
    with what he sold you.

    Some people will tell you to use Windows Live Mail; others will say
    You can use Thunderbird; still others may have other recommendations.

    My advice is to ignore all of these recommendations. I personally use
    Microsoft Outlook for the mail and Forte Agent for groups of discussion, but you
    must try several and choose what you prefer, rather than
    your decision based on what I, or anyone else, like better (or even
    what Microsoft suggests).

  • How can I permanently I change the default font in Windows Live Mail (Win 7)

    I just got this laptop that is running a newer version of Windows Live Mail I know.  The police of default e-mail is attached to Calibri 12 which is extremely low.  I want to its default value to Ariel 14.  Is there a way I can do this default font setting permanently?  I can't find anything under 'help' that helps me.

    Try this.

    WLMail open

    Left-click to select your account

    then on the drop down menu - options - mail

    Compose tab

    Fonts seem to be listed there.

    Click font settings, to adapt to your needs,

    and see if this holds for emails send/dial

    If it works and is OK, it's similar on the tab [read] - fonts for reading emails.

  • How can I activate javascript for Facebook when Mozilla says it is enabled, but it obviously isn't?

    Facebook drove me crazy with the interruption of Script, so I Googled, found an add on and he added, but it has not helped, made things worse, so I removed it. Now I can't use Facebook in Firefox. I get a request to activate Javascript. But it is activated. I tried everything I can think of. I made the about.config instructions and found to be on. There are several JavaScript entries that were "false" but try to change both 'true' didn't work, so I put them back (I hope). I added JS switch and added enable JavaScript under Tools. It is controlled. Yet Facebook always tells me that it is not. I am ready to throw my laptop in the room... help please!

    Don't throw away your personal data immediately.

    As a test of how Firefox works no 'customized', could create a new Firefox profile. In addition to bypassing the current modules and custom settings, you need databases completely fresh settings and a fresh cache folder.

    Close Firefox and start in the Profile Manager as described in this article: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox. Then click on create a profile and accept the default location (to avoid data loss, do not choose any existing folder containing files). Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box.

    FB works as expected in the new profile?

  • How can I get my DVD to be released in windows live photo gallery? I want to change my DVD

    I would burn my master DVD to the hard drive on my laptop, so I can open the video in Windows Media Player. I hope I can edit it and burn videos from family.

    Just copy the files from the DVD to a folder on your
    hard drive.

    The following steps may be worth a try...

    I guess this isn't a commercial with DVD
    copy protection? If_yes_read on...

    (FWIW... break the copy protection on)
    commercial DVDs is illegal).

    When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
    all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
    Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
    is located in, and then select Explore or open to view the
    Directory of the DVD.

    The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
    You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
    in a folder on your hard drive. Or you can copy the
    full VIDEO_TS folder.

    First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
    . MPG or. AVI and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
    If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
    Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
    Re - import new video from .wmv to for editing.
    (Note: in Windows 7 you may be able to import the)
    VOB files in Movie Maker just as they are)

    (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
    in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
    file to edit)

    If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
    another .wmv format would be a good choice.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup270.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the last screen)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup270.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    Good luck...

    Hello

    Sounds like you're being spoofed and not hacked. The emails appear in your sent
    Records showing you sent them?

    Which is called Spoofing and its pretty easy for a spammer to make. Of course, it does
    it look like you or the other person has sent the e-mail. Someone intercepted an email and
    It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
    or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been
    compromise. Your friend can access headers and block the real senders of
    those who will change often.
