I have been plagued with Chinese marketing bots that are attempting to hijack my hotmail contact list to email their messages to my contacts. The result is a flood in my inbox with Delivery Status Failure messages. They were previously using the automated vacation message option. I have increased the security to the highest level and they are not able to access my contact list at this time.

Two days ago I received a phone call by people hinting that they worked for Microsoft and that they had received notice of applications failure from a log within my computer. They informed me that they could repair the problem. I politely sent them to the devil.

Help!
