    When using a publicly accessible computer, such as those available in internet cafes, it is prudent to untick the box which allows hotmail to remember you email address. Otherwise people with slightly less control than me will be reading your emailz and sending you pornz. Or worse, using your email address to sign up to boards!

    I guess, but in any case the message needed to be said...one county at a time we'll teach people how to use hotmail without compromising their personal details.

    Interesting thread.... can i also stress the importance of not using the format option on your hard disk!
