Need help with computer problem with emails
This is just happening with my email. Everything else on my computer is running fine. I can not open any of my emails. I tried clearing the cookies but I don't know what else to do? I've heard of this happening and I regret opening an email I did not know who it was from because I think that it had a virus.
I tried doing a virus scan and it said there were no problems. It's just opening my emails. Can anyone help or suggest something to fix this?

Hmm OK what kind of antivirus? I would disable it for a second and try to open one you know is safe see if it is conflicting with the email client.

Typical Yahoo email problem. Give it a rest an close all browsers clear all data history and give it another go. I have that problem once a week, but it ususally corrects itself within an hour.

Spybot.
Like I said I'll be back later. I just thought I'd answer that since I saw it as soon as I posted my previous post.
I heard of others and I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks, bbl.

laugh Let me think about that ummmmmm NO dont do this.
OP for when you get back spybot is not generally used as a sole means of antivirus protection its objective is more a compliment to it. It does not scan for viruses.

To be specific it's
Spybot~ Search & Destroy
It runs some kind of scan when I open it and hit the button 'check for problems'.
Someone put the software in for me and told me how to use it.
I don't know if that's the best software to remove all potential threats to a computer, but if there is something better let me know.
Thank you,
hf

It might be temporary, like I read from someone else, so I'll give it a few days and see what happens.

When I log in next time(I rarely do) I'll send some green to some of the people that tried to give me advice. :)
