Windows Live gives you a lot of options when it comes to controlling your privacy settings; you can choose whether your profile is visible to everyone or just your contacts, or even selected contacts. But you might also want to decide on who can send you invitations and personal messages, it just takes a few quick steps.
How to change who can contact you
