[itdiscuss] Virus Problem

Thu Jan 20 18:07:02 EST 2011

I would contact Yahoo.  They can trace  the problem better than you can.    

I had someone with that same problem with AOL.   Their first comment was to change passwords.  People hack into the account and send off the person's address book.

As a matter of fact, here at FUMC we have blocked all @yahoo.com emails unless the email account is preregistered approved. This dropped our daily spam levels from over 1100 to under 200!
