I have got a virus in my Windows Hotmail Account which has permanently switched on the Vacation Reply and has been sending out advertisments to all my contacts and anyone that sends me an email. If I try to turn the Vaction Reply off, the next time I log into hotmail it is back on again. It also automatically adds the advertisment into any outgoing message I send. Please Help!
