okay. . .a little more information:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Security/Q_20342790.html
If you do a search on google for "hotmail password crackers", I am sure you
will find more information on readily available programs. I am not going to
post information here that someone might use against any Hotmail user.

I've changed the password immediately. I don't think they have got it off my
PC..I'm pretty well protected by my firewall. The links that someone kindly
posted about Hotmail having security problems go back over 3 years
though..long before I had my hotmail account-it's hard to believe that with
all the advancement in that time, Hotmail is still vulnerable.
