Steph Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I do? Where? This site? My email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 your email address book is sending out click on links. Derrick has one also. Folks, do not click on links in emails you are not absolutely 100% sure that they were sent by the addressee. These usually come with little more than a link for the message. .I replied on one so you could see what is going out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've received these from a few people... I'm assuming it gets into your address book when you click the link? (Though how would that happen in Alan's case, unless, maybe Gary or Cheryl are checking the mail?) If you find out your email is effected, how do you clear it? I've also gotten a couple of these through Facebook.... It's just like the Old Wild West, here online!!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Running an antivirus now .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 First thing is change your password. That is what support page for yahoo said to do. I had one months ago. I dont keep an address book. Instead it was picking emails that I had stored at random. Some it chose were a couple years old. Changed password and it quit.

Steph Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 It was kinda hard finding the way to change the password but it's done. Thanks. Hope that fixes it. While I was running the antivirus, I realized that more would probably be needed. Unless someone had turned on Alan's computer the problem couldn't have come from there.
