Now my Rogers address book has been infilitrated and a worm is sending out links from my e-mail address to friends telling them to click on a link, but the e-mails aren't from me. I just hate the thought of my friends being inconvenienced.

I know I could just stop using that e-mail provider and cancel it. And set up a gmail account. And start fresh. But all my files and pictures and address books are with Rogers. It will take hundreds of hours to transfer pictures and files and contact lists. And I don't want to transfer the bug by mistake.

So that is why I think I need to pay a Computer Expert to take care of me. And I definitely only want someone who has been referred by a friend.
My sources say it might be as easy as changing your Yahoo! password. Also, look in your sent fold (on Yahoo!) to see if you can see the sent emails.

I would change the password and see if that helps....
