Somehow my yahoo email was hijacked in some way because emails keep going out to everyone in my address book with links to sites that give their computers viruses. How do I get rid of this?

  • Show All (don't miss this one)
• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
  
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and post it in your next reply.

Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<— ROOKIT" entries
