Hi,
I am a new member in this forum. I have been using a yahoo mail id for the last few years. But for the last few months it is giving lots of problems. Without my knowledge mane mails are sent regularly from my yahoo id to some of my friends whose ids are present in my address book and also to many people whom I dont know at all. All these mails are containing some virus & I have to face a lot of embarrasment as my friends keep on telling me that my system is virus infected. PLease suggest me to get rid of this problem

I suggest you scan your system with an Anti-Virus program for infected files and if any are found, let the Anti-Virus software remove them.

You will need to use an up-to-date Anti-Virus software and if you don't have one, there are some free programs available for download for home use.

One is AVG which stands for Anti-Virus by Grisoft. You can download it here. Click on the avg71free_385a721.exe link.

Another free for home use Anti-Virus program is Avast which can be downloaded here.

Some Virus make it impossible to run or install an Anti-Virus program. If you cannot get your Anti-Virus program to run or to update, and you're unable to install either of these other programs, you might try running an online virus scanner which will locate the infected files. Once found, you can delete the infected files manually. A good online scanner is found at PCPITSTOP.com Post again if you need assistance with deleting the infected file manually. It is very helpful if you provide the computer operating system information with your post. This page will help with finding that information.

If all of this seems overwhelming, you can take you computer to a shop and have them remove the infected files. Normally this isn't overly expensive.

I hope something here will help and welcome to AnswerPool.com!
