You can see what happens and what to do about it here, but basicaaly, some passwords need chaged. If you are sending it, change yours, if you are getting it, tell the person who you got it from to chage theirs, go read about it, it is an old scam, but still works\nhttp://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:DWjFmbcx3ZYJ:jameswebsite.net/forum/index.php%3Fact%3DST%26f%3D11%26t%3D127%26s%3D8f57742df88279302f0fef30dbb197a0+geosite+link+virus+on+Yahoo+messenger+&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2

Go on ActiveX's website and download it off there. If you download it from somewhere else then it is more likely to be a virus!!

block the sites yahoo messenger connects to.\nYou should be able to get the site getting connected from the log.\nAlso the port which are used.

more then likely its spyware trying to report to it's host. get a free copy of spybot or lavasoft adaware and run it to get rid of the spyware

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."

Its an Adware ! Get a anti-spy installed, scan your pc & remove the adware. For adware install spybot or ccleaner from download.com\n\nOR simply download yahoo tollbar with anti-spy & perform the scan immediately.

Starware isn't with Yahoo.\n\nNo its not a virus, but it comes equipped with the usual unappreciated Spyware/Adware.

OK I got quite a bit because most of the question comes up at the top of my browser, have you restarted your computer since installing and could you have downloaded it from a dodgy site? Perhaps do a virus check just in case and please use your space bar in future questions as all we see is.  "can any onetellmewhenidownloadcoraldra... computergotspoiledagainidownlo... \nwhat todo"   Thankyou.

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.
