Do you think I should a contact from my msn list to avoid receiving those spam mails (containing suspicious links with barely any text sent to alot of people)? I have already blocked the contact on msn, and also on windows live mail, but it carries on sending its nonsense on my mail box.
For info, the person is called "Chris a" and I never received as much spam as by this person...don't even remember who it is.

Well it's not msn messages when he's offline sent to me, I block people who do it, it's in my mail box of hotmail that I receive this.
I think I will delete the contact.

had one of those going round that you couldn't block and delete or even after doing that the emails came and those couldn't be deleted.

I searched and apparently it's an old alliance mate but I don't even know if this address is active anymore so I might as well delete it.

report said emails as a Phishing scam in Hotmail.
it's what they are, the virus steals your password, and logs into your account to send people the links, and that's how it propagates.
