A PC problem. Please help.

My computer has been attacked via a site and a forum where I am signed under one of my yahoo addresses. For some time, while logging in to that email address, I kept getting requirements to change my password to ensure greater safety. After a while, I gave up and changed it. Since then, I cannot log in. It asks me to verify my password, but I don't know how. I don't know if my email address has been attacked as well. If so, how can I get back to it and get rid of the problem? BTW, I did a virus scan and deleted all the infected files.

I don't know. The computer otherwise works seemingly uneffected. It's just the email thing. I used this email the most, so I hope I can solve this problem.

I've tried to follow some of the instructions on yahoo security or what it's called and it worked. Hope it's solved now.

Did you try selecting the "I can't access my account" link under the "Sign In" section? After you select that you would select "I forgot my password". Try to change your password and log on again.

Yeah, but it didn't work. I've managed to log in later on somehow else. Thanks for your help, guys, though.

Glad it worked out for you - hopefully its gone to stay. I would still recommend changing your password again if you haven't already. nod
