Some bots on the Net might be trying to access your account. To be secure, they ask you to enter the code given whereas bot can't do.\n\nHope it helps.

Excerpt from posting at Source location:\n\nWhat finally worked for me was running Spybot Search & Destroy (v 1.4) which found and removed many pieces which were still left behind after a combination of AdAware Personal SE (Build 106r1), SpySweeper (Version 4.0.3, Build 360), and Spyware Doctor (3.2.0.340 but trial version and used manual removal of offending files/registry keys).

Ok here's what you do:\n\n1)  Download SpyBot Search & Destroy, AdAware, and Spy Sweeper (search on the net, first 2 are free and you can get the third as a trial version)\n2)  Download a personal firewall like ZoneAlarm or Kerio if you don't already have one installed.  Run it.\n3)  Run scans with all 3 of the programs I mentioned first.  This will clear your computer of all the spyware and adware you might have.  \n\nThe firewall will protect you from a good deal of malicious things on the net, but not all.  To ensure your computer stays clean, keep updated versions of SpyBot and AdAware and scan about once a week.  \n\nThis should fix your problems.  Spy Sweeper is a one-time thing, as the trial expires after 30 days, but it can detect a couple of things that SpyBot and AdAware can't.

Unfortnately there are just too many bots (robot programs) that are trying to entice people to join a pay website.. Also way too many females that troll these rooms. (again trying to entice you to view their pay porn website.  yes they are extremely annoying and it has turned me off of using yahoo chat rooms entirely.. Beware of any female that has 4love as part of their username as they are all scam artists.. on myspace if one of them messages me I just delete the message and never respond to them..  Way too many trolls out there.

This one was a real pain to get rid of when my wife ran across it.  The article I'm linking to at the bottom was a big help.\n\nYou will need to download the files they recommend, reboot in safe mode, run their tools and possibly (as I had to do) delete several dll's by hand (or rename them if you can't delete) then run ad-aware, spybot, windows startup inspector reboot in normal mode and run an online virus scanner (such as pandsoftware.com).\n\nVery frustrating but I think that just about did it.\n\nGood luck.

Try using an adware removal program like Lavasoft Ad-aware of Spybot Search&Destroy. The best though is Hijackthis, a little hard to use though. Try using a yahoo search to find instructions on how to use it if you choose it!
