Hi everyone I'm new to this forum, but need your help (i'm also not that computer savvy).
Here goes:
I have 2 hotmail accounts, and they have both been fine up until yesterday. I signed into one of them and received a dodgy email from somebody in Sierra Leone, wanting me to help them transfer 27 million dollars into my account. It came under junk mail, and they had gotten my email address from an apartment search website. After reading it i went to delete it, but it didnt delete. Then the page froze, saying 'page not responding'. A few hours later i tried again, and it lets me sign in ok, and scroll down my emails but after about a minute of been logged in the page freezes again and i have to press ctrl-alt-del to end task. I then tried my other hotmail account and the same is happening with that. However my brothers and sisters hotmail accounts are working fine. I also tried logging into my hotmail accounts on our other computer, but the same has happened. If anyone can help with this id be very grateful, as i need to access my emails as some are important and i need to reply in the next 24 hours.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Make a new folder called HJT in the C: directory(C:\HJT) Extract the zip contents to that folder. Run HJT and select the scan option. After it finishes scanning there should be a save log button. Once clicked it should open up a notepad file with the log. Copy and Paste the contents of the notepad file in your next reply.
