1) Login to hotmail and change your password.
2) Within hotmail select options, then more options. Under 'manage your account' you need to select 'send automated vacation replies'. Once there, delete any message within that box and select the 'don't send any vacation replies' option and then save.
3) Run anti-virus software you have and then malwarebytes and spybot in that order. You can find download links to these here
4) Buy me a pint if it works.

Same, I didn't realise it was happening Sad

Although I have nothing in my vacation options.

let me know if it happens again and I'll probably just change my email address.

The one I got from you the first time in August was a spam message, the last one was blank.

I'd run some anti-virus and the other programs just to be safe if you have disabled the vacation setting (make sure it's disabled as well as no text in the box).

It's either something dodgy on your computer or something dodgy on the hotmail server.
