Question

While in Hotmail a pop-up says I need to fix Hotmail

by Marilyn1949 Sep 11, 2014 1:44PM PDT

This notice appears in a separate box at the top of the page saying:
Your Hotmail needs to be fixed. And there are 2 options to click on FIX or CANCEL.

I tried asking Microsoft but just got the run around.

I don't want to hit FIX and get some type of virus. Where can I get someone at Microsoft to tell me if this is legit?

Thanks

Isn't Hotmail dead? Retired?

Microsoft can't answer because it's a retired product. Time to move forward to something else like Thunderbird.
