Re the "repair" of Windows Live Essentials.........
You're almost there.........
To do the repair, once you're in Programs and Features, right click on Windows Live Essentials, left click on "uninstall/change", and then you'll receive the option to repair Windows Live Essentials........left click on the repair and let it rip.........(see the attached)

IIRC, it's a bug in WLM 2011 that you have to do a "repair" to fix this problem. Use "Control Panel>>Programs and Features" to do a repair of "Windows Live Essentials".

roncurr; I carried out the repair ok. It appeared to solve the problem in that a junk address is added to the blocked senders list and a message saying so is displayed. However; when you restart Windows Live mail and recheck the blocked senders list; the offending item has removed itself. Example is "casinorewards@jangomail.com" A similar address "casinorewards@angomail.com" is blocked and remains on the blocked senders list
