Steve, as usual, you gave me sound advise again and I tried to figure out how to look for the infected file. I do not even have a clue to the file`s name, or where or how to look for it to delete it. I googled for clues and was directed to 'click my computer" and view its contents. I found this pretty hectic and confusing as nowhere do I find a file that may give me a lead. I ran another scan and this time chose selected items to be scanned: "yahoo" "my documents" and others and the scan came out clean. So I only see my yahoo mail as being the only feature that seems to slowed down significantly lately and that prompted my scan and malware discovered. I will appreciate any advise as to why this slowness in opening my mail browser is occurring. Thanks Elmoticky
