It’s not hotmail, it’s Google’s Gmail. Normally it’s really good. I’ve been using it for many years and I think this is the first time this has ever happened to me and I get hundreds of email daily. I only noticed it because I thought my program was scanning my outgoing mail and didn’t realize Gmail’s program has actually had their own virus protection and does it. Since I’ve been trying to get mine up and running I was more aware of it.
