    I use Yahoo as my main email -- don't have any other. I'm not having problems with it. All the spam goes in the spam folder; I quickly scan as once in a while something lands there which shouldn't, then I just delete them all.

    I use Norton for my antivirus, so maybe this is one difference.

    I fixed the problem. I changed my password. Got rid of all 52 emails, mostly spam. I have Superantispyware. Love it. I tried Norton but it slowed my computer down.

    A couple of weeks ago my daughter called to ask me about an email she received, supposedly from me. She told me what it said. It simply had a link which she made the mistake of opening. I told her it was NOT from me and someone probably hacked into my account and had a field day!!

    I have Google and recently had a problem, and I think it originated at the same time when someone tried to open a credit card in my name. After I notified the credit bureaus of a fraud attempt, I changed all of my passwords for everything, but I might have forgotten Google. Found out quite by accident that a good deal of the emails I was sending never made it to the recipient, yet as far as I can tell, I was receiving everything. I never would have known except for the fact that my SIL in FL called me and asked me what the (expletive) my problem was, and why wasn't I answering her mails. I was - she just wasn't receiving them. Fixed now tho............I think.

    I have an email account with Yahoo as my second email. I have never had a problem with it so far and have had it for 5 or 6 years.

    I have a yahoo account as my second e-mail address and I rarely use it. Last night I went there and I was able to delete anything I wanted to. Now I have had some strange e-mails sent to my main e-mail account from some of my FB friends. It'll have their name and then the title is "For You Tracey" and then it'll have a link to click on which is a virus. At least one of the e-mail addresses is from a yahoo address I deleted the others before looking for the address. I've learned to never click on a link unless you're sure it's safe.
