Have used Yahoo e-mail for a long time. Suddenly i get a message that reads "Unusual
Activity Detected" and it shuts off use of nthe e-mail for up to 48 hours. I have
run all my security programs and can find nothing wrong. Has anyone else experienced
this problem. I have sent them a request to by pass this feature of their service
if possible but haven't heard back from them as yet. Of course I will not be able
to recieve an e-mail until ythey turn me on again so I will just check back here
periodicall to see if any response have been made.. Thanx

Maybe a spammail BOT has taken up residence on
your computer. How do you connect to the
Internet? DSL modem, cable modem? Any hardware
firewall (router)? Do the lights on your modem
blink rapidly even when you're not surfing the
Internet?

Click Here
Yahoo is one that runs many spiders on your machine looking at all the stuff on your
machine..
Get a free email service like Hotmail and just be done with Yahoo...

Actually this is the most common issue (link below) and it happens in all countries.
Basically your account has been compromised (or someone has attempted to access
it with the wrong info to many times) or you are sending email that looks to them
as if it may be spam:

Google it and you will see that you aren't alone...

Once again people like DEX and Jerry and CK have enlightened me on this cyber world.
As a result I will start using my msn (hotmail) account as well as yahoo (its become
a habit ha) and I even got a back up yahoo mail box. Again thanks to all that responded...>
