All my contacts in my address book are not showing without any action taken on my part. Please help.?

• One fine morning I was not able to access my contacts in my address book. I did not delete or sync or did anything else with my address book. Can someone please help me get back those contacts.

  i receive this from Yahoo when I inquired about CONTACTs problems Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail. It is possible that you and various other users who have experienced this issue may have received a worm virus. This does not mean that your computer has been infected with the virus, but most likely the worm has an effect which infects your Yahoo! address book, resulting in the loss of certain contacts that would require a restoration. These particular viruses spread by sending users an email from a seemingly reliable source asking them to open an attachment containing the virus. Once a user contracts the virus, it then spreads itself by sending out new infected messages using contacts from within their address book. Most email system administrators are aware of these particular types of viruses and have set up protective measures to prevent others from being infected. Because of these measures put in place by this particular domain, the virus' attempt at spreading using your email address failed. Please know there is a possibility of receiving further return messages similar to what you have reported. Yahoo! is unable to prevent these messages from generating, however if you are a Yahoo! user and would like to direct them out of your Inbox, you may want to utilize our filter feature to do so. Filters automatically sort your incoming messages into the folders of your choice, according to the rules that you set up. The benefit of filters is that you don't need to read through each message to decide where it goes. For example, you could create a filter so that messages such as the failure deliveries you have received filter automatically to your "Trash" folder. If you are interested in utilizing this feature, please visit the link below for instructions: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/manage/ I also do understand that you would like to recover lost contacts from your Yahoo! Address Book. I apologize for the inconvenience caused and will do our best to resolve the issue. You may find them in your Address Book Trash. This is a separate folder from your Mail Trash. If you delete a contact by mistake, or notice missing contacts, for a little while you'll be able to find it in your Address Book Trash. You can move the contacts back to your Address Book by following these steps: * Sign into your Address Book at: http://address.yahoo.com * Click on Trash in the left navigation pane * Select the contact(s) you would like to restore * Click the "Restore" button Note: If your Address Book shows no contacts at all, so you cannot see the Address Book Trash folder, please add yourself as a contact. This will allow you to check your Address Book Trash. Just remember that contacts in your Trash folder can be deleted at any time, without warning. Messenger users: Please note that if you delete contacts in Messenger, they will also be deleted in your Address Book. These two properties use the same database. If you do not find your missing contacts in your Address Book trash, we would like to investigate in further detail. For us to look into the issue you have encountered, it will be necessary for Yahoo! staff to enter your account and conduct some tests. Please reply to this message, giving Yahoo! permission to enter your Yahoo! Address Book and take those steps necessary to pinpoint the cause of this issue and explore possible solutions. If you are reporting data loss, please let us know exact number of contacts you had in your Yahoo! Address Book. Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Mail. Regards, Roberta Yahoo!
