Email messages themselves can't contain viruses. However, files that are attached to messages can contain viruses. Yahoo! Mail provides free scanning and cleaning of attachments to all users who get incoming email through the web interface as well as to Mail Plus subscribers who POP their incoming mail.\n\nWhen you receive a message with an attachment, click on the "Scan and Download Attachment" link. This will automatically check the attachment for any known viruses. \n\nIf none are found, you can download the file. If a virus is found, it will be automatically cleaned, if possible. After the file is cleaned successfully, you can download the file.

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."

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.

Well Lovely! Your best bet is to uninstall yahoo messenger,make sure your antivirus is up to date and run a virus scan. After that is done, download yahoo messenger again as the first one may have been corrupted. Also, it would be a good idea to download the Yahoo toolbar with popup blocker. The little  popup box that tells you when there is mail is just a tool of messenger so dont worry about it!Good Luck!!!!!!

It only affect yahoo mail users.  Delete it without trying to open it.  Just opening it will get you infected.  It is a spammer virus designed to harvest email addresses.  The email has the following attributes:\n\nFrom: {last victim}\nSubject: New Graphic Site\nMessage body: Note: forwarded message attached.\n\nTo clean your system, shut down your browser.  Then restart and erase all your cached files. In IE, go to TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS then click DELETE FILES under the Temporary Internet Files Section.  Restart the browser again.\n\nThe virus is a javascript based virus so it will affect ALL computers including MACs and LINUX boxes.  It is a worm that goes by the names JS/Yamanner@MM [McAfee], JS_YAMANER.A [Trend Micro], and JS.Yamanner@m[Symantec].\n\nOnce it runs, the virus scans all your yahoo mail folders for email addresses.  It sends all email addresses it finds to the spammer at the following web site "www.av3.net/index.htm" (don't go there or you'll be infected).  Then it resends itself to all yahoo.com and yahoogroups.com email addresses that it found.\n\nAgain, if you see a message with the subject "New Graphic Site" in your email, don't try to read it or else you will be infected.

Update your Antivirus and scan your hard disk drive. It will probably find the culprit. OR did you actually send five email messages in 30 seconds ?

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

There are many reasons it could be doing this. Have you tried changing back to the old style Yahoo! Mail? this solved my problem. You may need to go to another computer to do this, or even email Yahoo's support team, they may give a better solution.\n\nWithout more details, like what browser your using and which version of Yahoo! mail your using, it is difficult to give a definative answer

I have heard about this worm, i think yahoo was supposed to put out a fix for it. I recommend going and getting a free anti virus check. Just put free anti virus scan in your search bar.

If you are using a desktop client , mozilla thunderbird/outlook / outlook express\n\nthen it is the antivirus or antispam or firewall software that you are using is preventing.\n\nMore often viruses are written to send mass mails to everyone in your address book so that they get a copy of virus when your contacts open teeir mails.\n\nSO, Unless its you who really want to send so many mails per minute the Antivirus/firewall software stops.\n\nYou can open the ptions in the s/w for now and turn it off and send.\nbut do turn it on again.
