Help protect your account
Here are some things you can do to help prevent people from getting into your Hotmail account.
Create a strong password
An ideal password is long and has letters, punctuation, symbols, and numbers. Also, change it periodically and avoid using the same password for other services.
Use antivirus software
You can help protect your computer against viruses by using antivirus software, such as
Microsoft Security Essentials. To help prevent the most current viruses, make sure you update your antivirus software regularly.
Add security information to your account
Keep your account information up to date with a current alternate email address and mobile phone number. Or select a security question and provide the answer.
