Can my Yahoo email account have a virus?

My Yahoo email keeps sending emails to my contacts without me even doing it. How can I stop this?

Answer #1

It’s probably not your account, but a spammer having got hold of your password somehow. First step would be to change passwords and secret questions. See if that makes a difference. If it doesn’t, update all of your anti-virus software and run a scan.

Answer #2

It’s sounds like you have been hacked. Change your password and security questions, make sure you choose something that isn’t easy to guess…and don’t tell anyone the password or answers to the security questions.
