Today I heard that my e-mail address is being used to send bogus e-mails to everyone on my contact list. What can I do to shut that down? Has my PC been compromised or only my online Yahoo account?

Answer:
change all your passwords after you scan your PC for viruses, trojans, key stroke loggers, etc.

Someone has hacked your account and is still sending Spam to those in your address book. Each one will have a person's name in the subject line. When opened, there is a link to some advertising sight. If you click on the link, you get Mal-ware or Spyware. 1: Do a spyware scan on your computer to find the mal-ware which is sending those messages and remove it. 2: After your hard drive is cleaned, change your password, not before!
