    heya,
    I loged onto my hotmail account and was surprised to see a folder in
    there.
    The folder would be the last one in the "Inbox" "Trash" etc etc field
    on the left side of the page.
    It said, Sonrie www.sonrie.net
    It was empty, and i deleted this at once.
    A wise guess could be that i was using IE5 in a netcafe and might have
    read a possibly malicious email, containing some script(IE force exploit
    etc) which could execute arbitary code on my computer.
    But then again, the making of that folder is on the hotmail servers and
    requires Server side scripting.
    I am a little confused.
    Any Wise ideas are welcome.
    Thanks.
