Did you install any other part’s of window’s live essentials, messenger, photo gallery? Go to control panel/credentials and you’ll see all the windows live stuff, if you dont use them anymore delet but im not sure if windows live will just put it staight back in the next time you run it. The windows sign in assistant is now embedded into the windows live essentials program that you installed so there might not be anyway around it.
Presumably you have a hotmail account setup in WLM (that is where it would get its info from), so it would try to set it up in its settings. If it is still there then avast would keep creating it.
last month i closed hotmails, got that long winded “associated with other WL services…wait 270 days of inactivity…” you can google “close hotmail account” and you will see the MILLIONS of posts about this…i sent email to hotmail address and it didnt recognize domain…so it appears the address is disabled, but i suspect the full effect of closing (username, passwords, etc) waits 270 days
can do formal request to verify the account with WL Hotmail.
Within WLM i only set up one account, ISP sympatico!
IIRC, i only downloaded Windows Live Mail portion (no other parts of Live Essentials ect…)
only credentials show:
-
sympatico ISP email account ( i guess this is normal ???)
-
digilogical (ive removed this twice, and keeps returning, not sure what is causing/using this ???)
Digilogical is a part of windows live essential’s which is what i thought might happen with it restoring itself, nothing to worrie about if you’ve disabled account.
thank you, when WLE 2011 update came in i asked it to ONLY install WLM part of WLE, but WLE is what shows up in programs …more than 63 MB
Yeah thats all that i installed of it to,
there’s alway extra crap installed with windows programs. Just got a new camera so i’ll probably install the photo gallery part of it to so i can email photo’s.
oh well guess ill just check the hot mail account in about 9 months.
do i need to change ANY of the following (see screenshot) in troubleshoot redirect, …for my ISP sympatico account in side WLM:
I don’t believe you have to change of the redirection ports as they are set by avast according to the Mail Shield settings also.
ok thank you very much…next i will set up my GMAIL account inside WLM, and set up avast for it too…should i have questions ill open a new thread for that topic
You’re welcome.
