Resolved Question: How can I stop my Windows Live Mail account from sending “Who blocked you” emails to all my contacts?

I got an e-mail from a friend, with a link to “find out who blocked me” on Windows Live Messenger. I have gotten a lot of these in the past, I should have known it was spam, yet I clicked the link anyway.

What I didn’t know is that it automatically sends the very same e-mail to all your contacts after that. I have gotten several “Delivery Status Notification (Failure)” mails, telling me that the spam mail could not be sent to several of my contacts (and recently, e-mail addresses not on my contact list as well). I checked in my “Sent” box, and I apparently never even sent the emails…

Some of my friends did tell me they got the e-mail. How can I get rid of it? I do not have the Vacation Reply setting activated, so that’s not it…

Please help! Thanks!

Voting Question: How do I get off college mailing lists?

I was looking for a college, and I found this website (from, or related with, CollegeBoard), but I can’t remember what is was called. So I check-marked all the colleges that I was interested in, there was about 80+. But I didn’t know that I would receive mail from EVERY one of those colleges. Now everyday, I get about 5-10 letters or brochures in the mail from those colleges. I also get huge amounts of spam on my email. It’s extremely annoying. Does anyone know the name of the website? Or know how to stop the junk mail from piling up?
