Hey everyone. My yahoo email address started sending emails to everyone of my contacts and it is sending a virus to them. I emailed yahoo about a day ago and havent heard anything back yet. I have a Mac and wondering if there is any free virus scan programs that I can run to see if anything is on my computer.
