What should I do about "Windows Live Hotmail has blocked some attachments in this message because they appear to be unsafe"?

Get a desktop email client and “POP” your Hotmail account.

@dpworkin how do I POP my hotmail account? And is it crazy or not for any advice of click on “remember me”? I don’t even think they should exist on a public computer.

Download a desktop email client like Forte Agent, or Pegasus, or Thunderbird, and follow the instructions to set up a POP account.

Stop using Hotmail. There are many better free email services.

Open a g-mail account. It is free. I love mine and can usually view documents right from the browser.

You people need to stop stealing all my suggestions…

Thank you all. Would you please comment on the “remember me” thing?

No. You do not want to click on “remember me” on a public computer.

@escapedone7 why is Hotmail and all the others, not making sure that there is no such thing on a public computer?

@flo How exactly would it do that? There is nothing about a computer that makes it “public”. The computer has no way of knowing whether or not more than one person has access to it. The website displayed on that computer certainly doesn’t.

@MrItty I have no idea how they would do that. There are a gzillion things that makes me think “How did they do that???”. And something was done already, (maybe it is just a coincidence) because for the first time since I have had the account, there was no check mark in the box. I have always had to uncheck it before I signed in. I have never thought that just because I can’t imagine something others can’t either.

@flo then I’m telling you – it can’t be done. There is nothing that distinguishes your computer from a “public” computer. A “public” computer is simply a computer that more than one person has access to. The computer has no way of knowing whether or not that’s true.

@MrItty so if I allow my friends, family, my customers to use my computer, that computer is called a public computer?

It may as well be. “Public” doesn’t mean anything technical or technological. It’s just a label.

@MrItty It is just amaaaaaazing! That is all I am going to say.

i can’t seem to get my password, and windows live is the same, i am new on the computer and i can’t seem to get any were ?
