January 2 2011 Virus and Spam Newsletter

Hello! It’s 2011!

Hello there, I’m Rayna Battle, your Virus and Spam editor at BellaOnline. In this edition of the newsletter, I want to warn you about a major problem that Hotmail is having with its email services.

WARNING: If you use Hotmail, be sure to back up your saved emails immediately. Either copy and paste them to your word processor, print them out, or forward them to another email provider. Hotmail is having some as of yet to be explained problems losing user emails. In some cases, users are unable to log into their email accounts. By the time they finally gain access, all of their emails have vanished. You can read more about this issue in my latest article: Hotmail and Disappearing Emails

As a reminder, I post new articles to the Virus and Spam site every Friday. The subject matter will vary, always relevant to the site of course. You can read more about the newsletter in the Newsletter Article.

My latest articles are: Virus Signs and Signals From Your Computer and Microsoft Office Vulnerability MS10-087.

Here’s an update feel free to post your article suggestions in the forum! If there is a specific virus or other malware that concerns you, be sure to let me know so that I can research it for you. Please note: if I feel that you need to be warned about an especially dangerous virus, trojan, worm, or other malware, I will send out a special newsletter with the word WARNING! in the title.

Have you visited the Virus and Spam forum recently? It's chock full of posts, polls, and fun info so be sure to check it out!

Thank you so much for your subscription and I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. Don’t hesitate to ask me for help with your computer problem. Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
