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.
greetings, (1) use yahoo instead of hotmail (2) contact hotmail customer support and ask what is going on. regards, J -- Jeff MacDonald <jam () zoidtechnologies com>
