I agree with you.  I don't have an antivirus program on my computer and never had.  The only time I have ever had a virus, is when I let someone else use my computer.  That did not happen again.\n\nI even do torrents, but I know who I am getting my legal music from.

I believe they are in the process of trying out a new format. Their homepage changed on mine browser also at home. Although at work I still have the same browser as before. I don't think a virus could cause something like that to happen.

There are what's called "false positives" plus one scanner may  know about a certain variant of a virus while another does not.\n\nPersonally I do not care for Norton but as long as it's up to date then it's better than nothing. I would suggest going online and trying Trend's Housecall to see if your infected.\n\nIf you find this useful please give a thumbs up and/or best answer rating.

The article follows. But if you have been receiving these emails: don't open; forward to your abuse@yahoo.com and categorize as spam.\n\nAlso, ensure your virus protector up to date.After you update it, run a COMPLETE scan just to be sure.\n\nAlso, you can set up your virus protection/filters not to allow the title and content of the email to get to your box but to be diverted immediately to SPAM and added to your BLOCK addresses.\n\n-------------------------------\nYahoo, world's most popular e-mail, hit by worm Tue Jun 13, 1:48 AM \n\nLAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), the world's \nlargest provider of e-mail services, said on Monday that a software \nvirus aimed at Yahoo Mail users had infected "a very small fraction" \nof its base of more than 200 million accounts. \n\nThe e-mail virus, or worm, has been dubbed Yamanner and landed in \nYahoo mailboxes bearing the headline "New Graphic Site." Once \nopened, the message infects the computer and spreads to other users \nlisted in Yahoo users' e-mail address books, security experts said.\n\nThe e-mail containing the virus need only be opened -- in contrast \nto most worms that are hidden in attachments and require users to \ntake an additional step -- to release the virus, according to \ncomputer security site Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq:SYMC - news).\n\nThe Sunnyvale, California-based company advised users to update \nvirus and firewall software on their computers and to block any e-\nmail sent from the address " av3@...."\n\n"We have taken steps to resolve the issue and protect our users from \nfurther attacks of this worm," Yahoo spokeswoman Kelley Podboy said \nin a statement.\n\n"When we learn of e-mail abuse, such as a worm or other online \nthreat, we take appropriate action," she said. "(A) solution has \nbeen automatically distributed to all Yahoo Mail customers, and \nrequires no additional action on the part of the user."\n\nYamanner, first detected by Yahoo and major computer anti-virus \nsoftware makers earlier on Monday, was ranked as having a low threat \nlevel by Trend Micro Inc. (Nasdaq:TMIC - news) and McAfee Inc. \n(NYSE:MFE - news)\n\nBut Symantec considers the worm an "elevated threat," one step up \nfrom the lowest ranking in terms of relative danger.\n\nSymantec's Security Response site suggested Yahoo Mail users might \nprotect themselves by upgrading to the latest test version of the \nrecently upgraded Yahoo Mail software.\n\n"The worm cannot run on the newest version of Yahoo Mail Beta," \nSymantec's site said.\n\nA Yahoo spokesman was not immediately available to comment on \nwhether the company advised users to do this.\n\nThe worm exploits a vulnerability in Javascript technology used to \nmake the mail program easier to use by triggering embedded HTML \nscripts to run in the computer user's browser.\n\nThe e-mail addresses are also sent to a remote online computer \nserver, which may be used to run spam campaigns, experts said. The \ntechnical name of the worm goes by variants of " JS.Yamanner."

Yes do not open anything from anyone you do not know. Even if you know them and they send it unexpectedly, ask them if it was really them that sent it.\nKeep your anti-virus up to date. I have mine update its self automatically every day while I eat breakfast.

If you connected to internet and only surf the web with a browser on the laptop, you got sent more than receive, you have some program running in background than you know, install a firewall and see what program is sending out data, if it is not intended, uninstall it.\nIf your antivirus and spware software found nothing, you probably need a update on their database, use their update link, if still return with nothing you got to change to better one.\nrecommendation: avg free ver.7  \nhttp://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10503939.html?tag=lst-0-2

Perhaps you have the W32/Sohanad.I Worm?\nInformation and removal procedure is here:\nhttp://www.pspl.com/virus_info/worms/sohanadi.htm\n\nAnd tell all your friends to NOT click on the link that the virus is sending them, they could become infected also. \n\nAny links received in an off-line Instant message should never be clicked-on, even if it says it is from a person you know. That is how these messenger viruses spread!\n\nGood luck.
