Sunday, May 29, 2011 9:04 AMI opened the message but that I know of it hasn't tried to install a trojan. I didn't submit the information and just deleted it. Are you sure it contains one? I'm about to run a full scan although I really wish I didn't have to since if it didn't contain a virus or infect my computer I'd be wasting my time.

Tuesday, June 14, 2011 5:37 AMYeah cuz I now noticed that the sender of mine was different then that of the person who made this thread in the first place. Also at the date this thread was made is around a year plus before I received the message. So yeah you're probably right, if it contained a trojan Hotmail probably removed it. Since when I opened the message no warning of suspicious content displayed.

hi ,prudence , use still a anti virus and malware scanner ! if it takes long , let it scan overnight , flag the full disk option (!!) and do a disckcheck also
last but not least , back up your data on external harddrives !
have a nice day
