Microsoft has agreed to extend Trend Micro's contract with MSN and permit it to continue providing antivirus scanning and cleaning for Hotmail's 230 million email accounts.

The monthly review of viruses and hoaxes by security software firm Sophos also shows numerous Mytob variants in the virus list.

Microsoft is making some big changes to its free e-mail service Hotmail. The company plans to make Hotmail's interface more like its Outlook and Outlook Express programs.

Sender ID authentication alerts will now show up in a new interface as Microsoft tries to protect its users from spam and scams.

Microsoft offers a spiffy new service called Microsoft Office Outlook Live and what do people do ... complain of course.

In a few weeks, users of MSN Hotmail will be offered 250MB of storage space. The upgrade will take place in early July, Microsoft announced today.

Joel Johnson created a buzz earlier today by reporting that some Gmail invites and emails aren't getting through to Hotmail users. Several reports also claim the emails aren't getting through Yahoo! Mail filters.
