So i have a yahoo email and i try to set it up and when i put my email in and press add it just highlights my name and if i press ok it doesnt save my account…
Could anyone give me a Tutorial on it or something? Thanks!
SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION
You have the right section. 
If all you use is Web Mail, the Mail Shield cant scan that, since it is web-based. Mail Shield is for mail client software like Outlook and Thunderbird.
gar, which one of those things would you recommend downloading if anything? And can i use my yahoo account on it or no?
your yahoo mail is already protected…yahoo scan all accounts using Norton AV
if you are used to yahoo webmail i suggest you continue with it…it is less complicated…unless you absolutely want to try a mail client?
I agree! Love Yahoo Mail! Avast protects that automatically. It treats it like a web page.

Na i wownt try a mail client… didnt really realize that it has it’s own AV, and i got a email that i know 99.9% it has a virus from some person claiming to be a chick(according to there name) want to date me, and i dont even know them… thats why i wanted to get the virus scan thing…
Oh, does this seem similar?>>http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=96449.0
Its just spam, delete it and go about you business.
Naw, its not familiar. The email is from someone with the name “Lonely Girl” So i dont think its that… I deleted the email’s as i got sent three by the same person in 12 hours…:L anyway i can block this person email or something using yahoo?
anyway i can block this person email or something using yahoo?yes... yahoo mail > settings > blocked addresses ;)
you can add 500 addresses in the free account
If it is “lonely girl”, then yes, that link (you would have had to browse the whole thing) is exactly the same thing you are getting. I know, because I got the same 3.
If this didn’t end up in your SPAM box, does yahoo have the ability to report a SPAM mail? That is another thing to do, apart from what Pondus just mentioned.
is the from address like girl4you or something ?..started to get some on the account i use here
Nope, not the same…but all 3 mails came from separate addresses here. The only thing in common with each other as far as the From addresses, is that they are all yahoo mail.
Pondus, its probably the same person just different email’s… looks like someone is eather really desperate for someone or wants to get our computers infected…
Oh, and 2 were in the spam, one wasnt
