Its asking me if I want to change security info on an old old account I never use

right - I'm back into my usual account

But it says I will receive security codes to continue using Hotmail for an account I aint used for years

Sounds like a scam to me Renton .... 

Ignore and block it Saint, it`s most likely scam which may give you a virus. 

Thank you BAZ and SCOTTY

Its odd cos it wouldn't let me into my Hotmail at all

Time to contact my security thingy and ask for a full sweep/update

I was asked for security confirmation for outlook/hotmail a while back Saint, it was pretty common apparently. Not sure if your one is genuine or not though. If its an account you no longer use, best to close it down.

I use avast anivirus and its really thorough - there's a free version too.

Roger that

 I'm fick - but my Bro works in IT and Avast is what he uses. I use the paid version but he says the free version is good enough.

You may as well set up an entirely new Outlook [the new Hotmail] account ? Might as well - if you have to provide info?

Hope you get it sorted 

I have 2 Outlook accounts

One I use a lot

One I never use

Its the one I never use and cannot remember the pass to that they are wanting an update for (terrible English  - I know)

So I don;t want to set up a new one

Ah ok
