I log on to my computer, and right after I put in my password to access my email, a message always appears to the effect that "this site is attempting to access one of your trusted sites. Is this okay?" I have to click "yes," and only then will it go to my email. I want to delete whatever security setting is causing this pop up.

Sorry, but you have a hacker to get rid of. He's logging your key strokes and probably by now has your e-mail codes.\nTry going to my computer/add/delete programs. Look through the list for one that is not started with a capitol letter.\nCan't garantee success or no damage, but he's in there and reporting on what you do. Probably sending messages from your e-mail to people you don't know, or do know, representing himself as YOU.\nI had one do that to me, and I had to replace the browser to get rid of him. You can get a new one by search/free browsers. Stay with the microsoft ones as others can mess you up too.\nTo replace a browser create a file to receive it in, find the one you want and download it to your file.\nOnce done downloading, go to the file and click install in the software. Be prepared to answer questions about what is to be used in each program. It will automatically replace your old browser, and should restore your e-mail.\nUnfortunately, since he has your codes, he can still access your mail. To stop that replace the currant code with a new one, and change it at least once a month. Don't forget to write down the change, and just draw a line through the old one so you can reuse it when you want to.........

You should keep a password on your account and do not let others kno it. Or you can create a limited user account for others to use it.  If you mean the account of your login into your computer. Also it could mean your email account. In both the cases you should change your password immediately.\n\n1) See if you have enought security softwares on your computer\nantivirus + antispyware + firewall + antikeylogger\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/essential-free-internet-security.html\n\nkeep all security programs updated, and check your pc for any bad program.\n\n2) If you still feel something strange happening then try a few steps from \n\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/pc-running-slow.html\n\n3) If the problem still remains , then it is better to format the hard disk to get rid of all bad things.\nhttp://yanswers.blogspot.com/2006/10/windows-reinstallation.html

If i understand you correctly, you are saying everytime you open the internet it redirects you to a webpage with a virus on it.  You never stated if you could leave the web page and view another, if you can, check out this page.  WWW.GEEKSTOGO.COM.  Its a great page with lots of helpful information and lots of informative members that will help you get rid of any problems on your computer.  You will have to register but it is quick, free, and painless.  There are also a few programs on that site available to download that will search, detect, and wipe away any trash, virus, malware, spyware, etc on your computer.

If it says it it on a secure site then it should be OK. If it says you are entering a site that is not secure then no.

It is a virus. It comes with an attachment that tells you to look at the full text by clicking on the attachment? You click it and you don't have a good antivirus program that stripped the virus and you will get it. Just delete the email and eventually who ever has the virus will find out and fix his/her computer. I had the same problem for several days and recieved probably 50-100 emails telling me everything from free sex to my long lost buddy found me.

Do you know that the pictures and graphics are used to confirm your email address to spammers etc.  If you want to see the pix in your email go to the bottom of the message and click to allow HTML. \n\nAs far as the web sites are concerned: Never turn off your popup blocker. Either click for it to Temporarily allow or click always allow from this site. Turning it off allows bad popup programs in without you knowing it.\n\nAlso check your firewall setting and make sure its not doing it.\n\nNext go to Internet Options>Privacy and in the section for popup blocker click Sites button and make sure the settin at the bottom is set to Medium .

Maybe you're having a typo that you don't even notice.  What client are you using?  Sometimes Outlook does funky stuff, too.  Lastly, sometimes if the mail par tof yahoo doesn't accept my password, and I know it's correct, I log into games or answers or something else (any other feature) and just go to the mail from there and it works for me.  Good luck!

I said it once... I'll say it again... It means Explorer blocked something on that website (a popup, phishing program, etc) you can double click it to see more details on what is going on.

The same thing happened to me.  I was using a password that was a word, though not a common one.  I changed my password into a "strong" combination of letters and numbers to prevent this.\n\nAlso, when you log in, make sure you use the Secure method.  If you go to mail.yahoo.com you'll see you can select Standard or Secure as the logon method.\n\nFinally, I now use the application AI Roboform to keep track of my passwords (www.roboform.com), since they're all strong.  Plus I don't have to bother entering the password.  Enter a master password, select the login from the list in Roboform (Yahoo! mail, say) and it goes to the site and logs in for me.  You can set how often you have to enter the Master Password for Roboform in the preferences.

I'd run a security program as it sounds as if there's a 'Back Door' in your system which is allowing the hacker to sneak in.  This will continue no matter how many times you change your password, the only option being to close this point of access.  try running the best thing you've got, even if it's only the Norton Anti-virus provided by Yahoo.  Today it's email, tomorrow it might be your credit card # so it's in your best interest to follow this advice. Good luck.

I use E-Trust security too. Anytime I have a question I contact them for advice. They are really helpful and have helped me specifically for the situations with my computer. \n\nThere are a number of ways that intruders can get behind your defences. They are really sneaky, making themselves appear to be legitimate programs and contacts etc. You can easily unwittingly let them into your computer by opening emails and their attachments or even by clicking the red x to get rid of an unexpected pop up. Press Alt F4 to get rid of pop ups without touching them. NEVER open an attachment if you do not know who it is from.\n\nIf you suspect your computer has been invaded use your soft ware to run a scan for them. If you are still worried, contact E-Trust. I hope this has been helpful.

It's highly unlikely to be a virus, and it's not really likely to be someone trying to get into your account. Most likely a bug.\n\nTry logging in from another computer (someone else's, a net cafe, or a friend's for example) and see if you get the same problem. If so, try clearing all your internet-related files (the cache and cookies essentially) and try again. If that doesn't do it, try reinstalling your browser (or installing a new one).\nMight also be worth forcing a new IP address, in case it's a problem with Hotmails IP log. If you've got broadband, it's not unusual for your IP address to change between connections, so restart the modem. If that doesn't change it, most routers have a 'Renew IP address' button in the config somewhere, so you can do that.

Usually, when this happens, there will be a yellow highlighted message near the top of the screen - telling you that the object was blocked and to click the "x" for additional information.  If you click on that you usually get the option to allow that site to access your computer.\n\nAlso:\nSome sites will not allow you access unless you allow cookies.\nYour security might be set too high.\n\nClick Tools,  Internet Options.  Then carefully check out all the tabs for Security, Privacy, ...

Yahoo mail generally does not get "hacked"  Odds are like 1 in a billion.  Bet someone you know had your password.  Possible someone insecure???

Figuring out why your computer can't get into secure sites is a tough one, but when it goes so far as to keeping you from logging in to messaging programs, it's a dilly of a pickle.  Here are some steps to take:\n\n(1) Visit http://www.windowsupdate.com/ (if possible, sometimes this sort of problem takes away this option) and make sure you have the latest and greatest.  Keep going back until it says you have no new critical updates.\n\n(2) Try another browser.  http://www.mozilla.com/ is where you can get Firefox.  Again, if you can't log into messaging programs, this might not work either, but it's good to have a backup browser anyway.\n\n(3) Check your date and time, including year and time zone.  Simple, yet it can cause this problem.\n\n(4) Disable ALL security programs.  Firewalls, pop-up blockers, browser toolbars, anti-virus....  This includes router firewalls---If you're going through a router, bypass it.  Keep them disabled for the duration of your troubleshooting.\n\n(5) Go to Start>Control Panel>Internet Options.  Clear the cookies, Clear the files, including "Offline" files.  Go to the security tab, click on "default."  Go to the privacy tab, click on "default."  Go to the connection tab, click on LAN settings, make sure there's no proxy (unless your ISP demands it to work---write it down if there's something there and removing it makes your internet stop working).  Go to the advanced tab, click on "restore defaults."  Click Apply, Click OK.  Try it again.  No dice?  Go back to Tools>internet options>advanced and scroll down to "allow third party browser extensions.  Uncheck it.  Apply>OK, try again.  If that doesn't work, go back in and re-enable third party browser extensions.  Apply>OK.\n\n6. Click on Start>Run and enter "CMD."  In the black box, type in "netsh winsock reset catalog"  When prompted, restart your computer.  Try again.\n\n7. Try a second, and even third spyware removal tool.  The Yahoo toolbar uses Pest Patrol which is pretty good.  You can get Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware at http://www.download.com/\n\n8. Do a System Restore.  Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.  Go back to a date where you know it worked.\n\n9. Nothing left that I can think of besides repairing or reinstalling XP.  If you've gotten this far, either you have/had a wicked piece of spyware that attached itself pretty good to something in your registry, or something just got corrupt in Windows.\n\nI don't think I've left anything out.  Best of luck to you!
