You reckon wrong. All the viruses I have gotten have come from infected home
computers, not from Hotmail accounts. They never got near a computer owned
and operated by Microsoft.

It's the Devil's fault! The Devil made me do it! Really! I had to go out of
my way to set up a Hotmail account. When I helped a friend with a Windows XP
installation, I didn't find a Hotmail account anywhere on his computer. Most
people get an email account with their ISP service; my friends account was
SBC Yahoo! DSL Service. Again, his email goes nowhere near Hotmail, or
Microsoft servers; except when a Hotmail user writes to him, or he writes to
a Hotmail user.

But, I reckon there is a site which might be of some help...
