foremost...thing to do is to..delete all the addresses in your address book...okay...\n\nafter that..if ya are online...go to offline as soon as possible..so that the virus don't affect any other remote system..or propagate itself..\n\nthen..ya need to detect the virus wit the help of any anti-virus software..like norton, McAfee and either delete the virus or quarantine it...its easy...don't worry..but ya need to implement these steps as soon as possible..gud luck..;-)

Search the Yahoo! Members Directory, I hope you are not going to use IDs to send Spam Messages.

All the spam e-mail guessed by yahoo mail is sent to bulk mail. when many mails are sent simultaneously from one account . it looks like a spam mail to yahoo. yes add the import id to your address book to avoid this problem. if u r not sure about id rather than subject etc you can use options in yahoo mail and use filter option to send files to particular folder try it.

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.

you can set it on AIM to where it only let's ppl on ur buddy list IM you. I've had AIM forever and I've never gotten a virus just from having the program. Plus Yahoo! Messenger bugs out at times, I've never had that problem with AIM. It just depends on personal preference

It is not concerned to yahoo at all.\nIf your friend has valid email address, you can send him mail from anywhere, not only from yahoo. Thus, the problem is with your friend's address or mail server that holds his mailbox.

You cant get any virus unless they have you accept a file or you click on one of their links. In other words, dont click on any link you are not sure of and dont accept anything they send you. As well, dont tell them what pages you visited or your IP adress as they can easily hack you. Otherwise, you are safe just chatting.

You can likely report this but it won't do much.  They are not actually getting viruses from your mail. People farm for email addresses and use them to send out viruses...\n\nFor instance, you don't have any viruses? and you have not sent any right?  People can "spoof" your email address.

Doesn't spam give you viruses?

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.

If you use Yahoo Address Guard (options) "address guard" you can give out a different yahoo address (example: yournameemail-wal-mart@yahoo.com) whenever you sign up for something.   If you get email at that address you know who is sending it or who sold it.\n\nCheck it out.  Great yahoo feature.

Try to forward the whole e-mail to yahooabuse@yahoo.com and see if that goes thru. if not then send it to this site and put in the subject line in all caps VIRUS ATTACHED

if ur sending to too many persons on ur Yahoo address book then u need to type the code - by this way Yahoo confirms tht u r not spamming the other peoples mails.........

You need not need that, Yahoo already uses Symantec Antivirus solutions, so youn are secure my default. If you want to still scan your attachments, you can do so. Simply download the attachment from your Yahoo account, and scan with your antivirus engine

Regular, free Yahoo membership which 90% of the world has, does not provide any virus or malware protection.\n\nBut since your ISP, AT&T, has partnered with Yahoo, you  get some free extras including an anti-virus app.\n\nInfo is here:\nhttp://promo.yahoo.com/att/surf_safely.html\n\nOf course, you as the computer owner, are responsible to install these apps yourself, they just won't magically appear on your computer!\n\nGood luck.
