another symptom of malware ???:
my hotmail email account (but not my son’s – his is still normal) will not let me send email messages. When I try I get this:
(a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it) “Before you can send this message, you must pass a random check to confirm that your account is valid. This helps us prevent automated programs from sending junk e-mail.”
(then in blue) “confirm your email account.”
this began right after the malware incident described in “malware – unable to scan – error occured during moving file and file deleting.” I haven’t clicked on that blue invitation.
Does this message come from AVAST? Or is it someone trying to find my email password?
thanks.
