Shenan ! The answer you gave is quite insulting.
Ever thought about the fact that not everyone control the English language as you do ?
And did you ever tried to use another language beside your own ?
Also, i understood the original poster straight away despite his grammar.
And no i didnt read all the nonsense you put here as an answer, simply because its incorrect.

The answer is easy but harsh for the original poster : YOU HAVE BEEN HACKED !
The best thing to do is to FDISK you harddisk (if you dont know this then get someone to help you), then FORMAT it and reinstall windows.
Before you do this be sure make a backup of all the stuff you want to keep but dont put it back on your harddisk before you are sure that the backup contains no contamination of any sort (Virusses, Trojans, worms etc.)

After you done this you want to change the password for your hotmail account as well as all the password you ever typed !
Why ?
Because someone seemed to be logging all the keystrokes you made, including your passwords, and uses it to get into your email and probably some more private stuff.

It's good to have some kind of security installed too, i recommend the following :
- AVG antivirus, this can be downloaded FREE at www.grisoft.com
- Activate you windows firewall and be sure to do a windows update.
- You can install anti-spyware programs, but as long as you keep a normal surfing habit you shouldn't be needing them too often. (They tend to attract spyware according to my research !)

I dont hope, i know this helps !
