If he's only accessing his account on the Yahoo website then someone is spoofing his email address to spam. If his account is setup in Outlook Express or another email program on his computer, it could be a virus on the computer itself.

◙ it's your computer not yahoo mail that has the virus

You mean in Yahoo Mail??? If it's the case, it's not possible that Norton Antivirus affects to you because this is a server side check, and it's suppose that check doesn't affect to you!

more than likely this is a phishing scam do not open any links inside the email.  Contact yahoo directly for help.

Im guessing they may not be from yahoo groups, its prob just a virus. I wouldn't open any of the attachments unless you know who there from! I get yahoo e-mails all the time with viruses in them!!!

Yes, you can report them.\n\nSince they are in Africa, and the Governments in the countries the use are corrupt, there isn't much the legal authorities can do. \n\nWith these type of Emails the threat of Virus or other Malware isn't very high. They want your money, not to infect you computer.\n\nIf you have Yahoo Mail with the Address Block the simply copy their email address and add it to the block. When it bounces the next one, it will tell them your address doesn't exist anymore. If you don't have this in your Yahoo mail, then Outlook Express has a Bounce Back feature that works the same.

Get a trojan remover or best an anti virus. Try www.symantec.com\nThat is what Yahoo! suggests.

Thank you for the warning - these kinds of scam mails are flooding everyones mailboxes and I think that they contain one or more Viruses or Trojans or Spyware or Tracking cookies which transmit what you write in reply to the senders and then .... BANG - you or your PC or your bank account are done for - at least thats what I think - and so the best way is to religiously delete or mark the thing as spam without replying to it. They got your email IDs by tracking cookies on your computer or from a search of the internet using an iterative program

When you use the Yahoo e-mail, message attachments are scanned.  But this does not necessarilly protect your computer.  You MUST have anti-virus.  \n\nYou can get the free AVG Anti-virus.  Visit http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Do not feel safe because the yahoo server scans for virus infections. This does not protect you from infection in your emails. Do not open emails in the bulk folder.  It protects the Yahoo server from being infected.\n\nIf using the old email program. Click on the bulk folder and the emails will be listed. Look for ones that might be valid email and mark them as not spam or click and open them and read. Any that you don't know or want, especially if there is no subject or from address, the click the box next to it and click the delete button. Then click yes.\n\nIf you have an email that says New Graphic Site or anything like that, delete it without opening. It is infected and has infected many yahoo mail users this morning.\n\nIf it is the Yahoo mail Beta. Go to where it says HIDE PANE and click. Then click on the spam folder and the emails will be listed. This time you have to highlight and the click the delete button. By hiding the view pane the email is not opened. To delete more than one, hold down the crtl key and highlight all you want to delete. To open the pane again select the View button and select Reading Pane.

I hope someone can help you! I opened this just to see if anyone had.  I called Yahoo about some virus alerts at 877-722-3755 & the guy was very helpful. It may depend on the issue you have. I asked about a number specificallly for Yahoo Q&A & was given 800-699-2466.  This was some time back, & in my copious notes, I've written a big red "NO" beside that number, so I guess it wasn't any help.  You could try the 877 number--who knows. If someone else answers, you may be lucky.

do you have a firewall?  if not it is easier to get viruses.  but you should also download a spyware detection program (not the one on yahoos toolbar)that gets rid pf spyware.  a lot of times spyware is the problem.  you could also try.... after you try to turm ot off.... holding CTRL ALT DEL at the same time, and see what pops up in the task widow.  sometimes that can tell you what is not correctly responding!  I wish you lots of luck!\nmissdavis

Why would you ever what to crack a yahoo password?  Are you trying to steal someone's ID?  I had mine stolen once, and I was not happy.

It happened with a friend of mines a long time ago (well, 1.5 years ago)...All the mails subject were porn subjects, and the attachments contained viruses...\n\nThis happens, for some reason on Yahoo! Groups...why I don't know...it takes it's time then just stops...\n\nAll what you have to do is to tell your freinds and all those on the groups about the virus, and the anonymous sender that takes your place sending all these spam emails...just to make sure you are not kicked out by the Y!Group Admin, or even marked as a spammer by others...\n\nAlso, do a Hard Disk scan,  delete all cookies and installed ActiveX controls, and try also, changing your password...All these are just to make sure that your PC is not being hacked via a backdoor application, or even a KeyLogger
