My Yahoo email has been hijacked:unwanted words appears in the subject box.?

When i enter a subject it get transformed into something else like I love Kung Fu, or Lottery.


When writing an email the keyboard from time to time behave as if it has a mind of its own, ie if I key in 'a' I will get a random letter.


I got the feeling that Yahoo mail has been infiltrated 'cause I just cleaned the computer with House Call. Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Reply:It sounds like your remote acess is turned on and someone is playing with you. Turn your remote access off and make sure you use a firewall of somesort.





To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.





You could also have gotton infected with a bug that does an auto correct maneuver. In word, you can program autocorrect to type in say "Remote control" whenever you type "rcc". I would run a anti viral software. Go to your Add/Remove software and look for anything you know for sure you didn't install or for something that was installed around the time you saw it happenning.
Reply:Did you know that if you click 'subject' it comes up with a random (and usually silly) subject title for you. That might be part of your problem? As for the random letters...?
Reply:Safest bet is to backup personal files and reinstall OS from scratch after performing a clean format. Spyware and viruses are difficult to remove and there could be a reinfection even if you're using a good protection software. Reinstall!!!
