The Christmas gift I just click n collected for my youngest looks like a Steven Paddock crime scene still.
 
Ever had this pop up.

The bit blocked out is my email address. This is what pops up when I go into Hotmail (Outlook). However if I log in as someone else I don't get this message, just the usual enter email address then password. I therefore suspect this could be a planted pop up that appears whenever I log into Hotmail from my desktop (ie to get my new password). Well that won't ****ing work. I'm doing some investigation using another email address. ****ers

After you input your password they will ask for mothers maiden name and bank details I had a similar scam for a tax rebate.
Just changed my password and flagged as spam before entering the obvious financial bum rape info
 
Apparently loads of people get this and, according to a lot of Google reports, it's OK. I don't think so

Only if you are dumb enough to enter your info.

If you have Malware Iain can fix it for a reasonably priced monthly fee.

I need a clearer explanation then I'll sort it for you.

Is it when you log into Hotmail via your browser? My guess is that you have the old password stored in your browser, and it's trying to use it for that account. Go to your browser settings and clear the password or update it to the new one.

PS: only noobs save important passwords in their browser <ok>

I don't have any passwords saved in my browser.

You sure? Would explain why it asks for a password for one account and not the others.

Have you run any anti-malware software?

https://www.malwarebytes.com/

http://www.superantispyware.com/

Download, install and run full scans with both of those one after the other, if they don't find anything you have no malware and you're good to go <ok>

I have the latest full Norton suite and have run a complete system scan with no problems found.

It's not when I log into email with different accounts. It's when I log in from my desk top. If I log into another desk top and sign into my email the pop up doesn't occur. I have ticked the box to clear password settings just in case and will see what happens
 
I had identical page from a fake tax rebate spam.
You click a link they know your email and try to get you to enter password

Norton is about as much use as Mindy, if you scan with those 2 programs and you have no infections then you're good to go <ok>

Right. Cleared password settings, restarted computer. Made no difference.

Interesting what you say about Norton. It seems that everyone criticises whatever they don't use

According to this review Norton and Malware bytes are both very highly rated. Why is there a need to run 2?
