Memberok this is what happened. I left my messenger on the other day by accident, and someone sent me a message from me to me with no message box…
ex: nickname (screen name) – EDIT
nickname (screen name) – Wo0t
nickname (screen name) – sLuT
and sooooo on
this was what I saw on the blue bar of my box where the minimize maximize and close options are….and while im on line I notice myself going on and off line…also I noticed some of my mail has been opened.. the other day I got an email from yahoo! or maybe it wasnt yahoo, anyway, in the message it said that yahoo wanted to check to see if my account was still active and to verify that it was me reading the mail it asked me to sign in and type in a fuzy few letters. I’ve had my account since ’00 and NEVER had an email like that, and everyone that I have asked said they NEVER got anything like that….can someone help???EDIT: Cleaned up racial slur…I understand that someone sent that to you and it’s terrible…but please just “mention” something bad was put and don’t repeat it…it’s highly offensive…no matter HOW much people seem to be using it these days. Thanks for understanding

MemberIt sounds like someone sent you some sort of virus…do you have your messenger set to where it always accepts downloads and links? Someone may have sent you Magic PS or something similar and may have stolen your password. FIRST, scan your PC with an UP-TO-DATE virus scan, then a trojan scan, then run Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. Once you’ve made sure you’ve cleaned out whatever may be on your PC. CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD. Make sure NONE of your personal info has been changed. You also might want to try searching on this site for some more specific answers to your question. But certainly start off how I mentioned… Good Luck!

MemberThat email you got that said it’s from Yahoo is a hoax. I got the same thing, sent it to Yahoo support asking if it was legit and that’s what they told me.
