Hit by an email virus :(

Hit by an email virus :( [+ favourites]

I need help from the techies!

I got an email from someone I know on a mailing group. (Yahoo Groups) I opened it. And now, everyone on the listserv is getting junk from my email add. So I asked the admin to take me off the group. I blocked the person I originally got the email from. But I still get emails from Yahoo Groups telling me that my email to that group wasn't sent SOOO there is still junk going somewhere from my email add.

I've got Norton Antivirus, Spybot, and Ad-Aware. I've done full scans and encountered no problems. My firewall's activated. All pop-ups and ads are blocked.

What do I do (besides close that account)?

i really cant see anything else you can do. other than close the account, so that it gets deleted. if it is an online address, then nothing you have on computer will do anything about it, because you dont download the mail to your computer, so it is the responsibility of yahoo (or whoever your with) to clean any viruses out of the accounts, which hopefully the should do, and if they do it soon, then you shouldnt have to close your account.

i hope that made sense, brain not in gear

you use the Yahoo! web based e-mail right? if you do, then someone stole the password for your e-mail, try changing it, see if that helps.
