Says "oops you hotmail link is broken and transfers to a Fake Spanish Hotmail site
I accidentally clicked an executable file in my email to my hotmail Inbox. The executable must have been in the title of another hotmail message I received. When I opened the email it executed. After that whenever I type URL www.hotmail.com I am automatically directed to a Fake hotmail site (In Spanish or Portuguese language). If I try to reach hotmail thru msn.com or I use the shortcut I used earlier for my hotmail, it says "oops you hotmail link is broken). I have run Malwarebytes and Virus scans but have not been able to fix. I cannot access hotmail from that particular computer, however I can access hotmail from other computers as I am doing now1 person needs an answerI do too

Thanks. I implemented all the steps below, including re-setting my IE. The problem remains unsolved. Whenever I type www.hotmail.com on that computer it takes me to a fake hotmail site in Spanish with the word "Entrar" before the URL which asks me for my email address and signin PW. Its the same problem if I try to get to hotmail using Mozilla Firefox which I was using before getting hijacked. All other links on thefake hotmail sign in screen are dead links it only wants my signin PW. Someone please help!!!! Thanks
