With the most recent Hotmail bug fix that Microsoft has now released it goes without saying (but I'm saying it anyway) that you should seriously consider getting yourself a gmail account if you haven't already done so. The need to have a web-based email account is extremely important since your internet service provider mail is only as good as your internet provider, meaning it disappears when you change providers! But getting the correct web based email and that being Gmail is also important. It seems with the constant issues with Microsoft security, you shouldn't take this sort of thing lightly, just as it is important to stay up to date with all the latest security patches through windows update.
