    Worrying Pop Up's on Windows Live mail.


    My apologies if this is in the wrong forum but the Live Mail forum would not let me in because a pop up blocked me.
    I opened my Windows Live Mail and the following came up.

    "It looks like someone else might be using your account
    To help you—and only you—get back into [EMAIL REMOVED], we need to verify that it's yours.

    Terms of Use Privacy & Cookies Sign out

    Then a box came up which I can't copy with the words,

    "Windows Live Mail"
    "Sign in to Windows Live Mail"
    "Your Windows Live Services are updated to match any changes you make when you are signed in."

    There were other words and they all looked valid but I'm meeting all sorts of scams these days or am I just paranoid?.

    Hello BML mate looks very suspicious to me so run these mate for starters

    SUPERAntiSpyware | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!
    Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware Detection & Removal Software
    AdwCleaner Download
    delete any rubbish found with the malware scans
    (NB If one is running Kaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it or disable Kaspersky while the ADW is being used)
