millyg:
After unsolicited spam was sent from my account Friday night, yesterday all my contact list has been deleted. I updated the new version of Messenger to see if this would resolve the problem but it has not. Can anything be done to restore my contact list?
Hi
millyg,
If your Hotmail contacts were lost, post the following info here so I can help you recover them:
- Your Hotmail account
- At least 3 e-mail addresses from your deleted contacts
If you’re referring to your Windows Live Messenger contacts, you need to get in touch with the Windows Live Messenger Technical Support Team for assistance. Visit the link below to access their support page:

Once you’re on the page, click the link beside
Windows Live Messenger.
I also suggest that you read the solution article found in this link for your concern on the spam message that was sent from your account:
