Is there any news on a new big hotmail/windows live virus going around!?

My girlfriend received this from someone, and her account started mailing people by itself, and now she herself can't enter her account anymore.

Brad, since you seem close to the whole Microsoft/Windows thing, do you know anything about this!?

I've not heard anything sorry. Isn't it more likely to be a malware e-mail instead of specific to Windows Live Hotmail?

I have no, but I think it's a combination of both the hotmail virus as well as an MSN virus or something.

I don't have it (the problem) personally, but my girlfriend can't log into her hotmail account anymore, and neither can I log into her account anymore (she asked me to try).
