Re: Contact list / email hijacking
Thanks for the headers JackFrost. Upon checking it, I've verified that the message was sent from your account. Since you didn't send this message yourself, I strongly suggest that you immediately make your account more secure. Here are some tips:
1. Change your password as well as your secret question and answer regularly. To make a strong password, check out this Solution article:

2. Properly log out of your account after your Windows Live Hotmail session by clicking the "Sign Out" button.
3. If you're using a public terminal, clear your temporary Internet files (cache) and close the browser that you're using when you're ready to end your Internet session.
4. Don't share your password to anyone even if they claim that they are persons of authority. Windows Live Hotmail disclaims all attempts to gather account information from you via phone or e-mail.
5. Be sure not to click "Remember my password" at the Windows Live Hotmail Sign-in page if you're using a public computer or if there are other people using your computer.
I also recommend that you visit the page that Anette has provided to you for more ways on how to secure your account and your computer.
