Does anyone else here use hotmail? And if so, has their start screen changed recently? I went there today and it took a LONG time to load, and my script blocker popped up and told me it was blocking "wlxrs.com" or something, resulting in a blank page. I unblocked it (temporarily) and the start page looks different. Now, I'm cognizant of viruses/spyware that like to redirect your traffic to steal your password(s), but AVG and Spybot SD aren't picking up anything. So i'm stuck wondering...

Did hotmail change their layout and institute outside scripts? Or has my compy been taken over?

I'm seeing the same login screen as usual. I'm not running any script blockers, so I'm not seeing anything there.

Doing a Google search for wlxrs.com I find a link on whois.domaintools.com that tells me that it is registered to Microsoft. Another site says:

Quote:

wlxrs.com is a domain controlled by five nameservers at msft.net. All of them are on different IP networks. msn.com, iis.net, live.com, msft.net, msn.co.kr and at least 24 other hosts share nameservers with this domain. js.wlxrs.com, css.wlxrs.com, msc.wlxrs.com, img.wlxrs.com, img2.wlxrs.com and at least one other host are subdomains to this hostname. wlxrs.com is ranked #72008 world wideReputation is not yet known. It is not listed in any blacklists. It has two inlinks.
So, if they've started using scripts, they aren't outside scripts.

Recently I HAVE been seeing the Beta of the new MSN page pop up on various computers.

What address are you using to access hotmail? Is it the www.hotmail.com address or something different?


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Yeah, it's hotmail.com (which then redirects to login.live.com/login.srf?=wowthatsalotoftext1234567890live=dudere allythisisalongurl?whatever or something like that -note: NOT A REAL LINK) However, deleting all that crap and just going to login.live gives me a more standard looking microsoft page. Wierd.
