You do no t need to change your address unless nothing else stops the spam or you cannot regain access to it with the 'Cannot access my account' area of the sign-in page. 1. Check that the alternate e-mail address is still yours (Change it first!), and then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make them unique and strong ones! (*** Changing your password also deletes the cookie which apparently inserts that sly trojan address grabber. ***) If you have a Yahoo! account, you can change your password at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw. If you can no longer access your account, you can get a new password at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/. If you still can’t access your account after going through the “Forgot Your Password” process, you may contact the Customer Care team for assistance. Click Help, then Customer Care, then Live Chat - it make take a while, but a human answers! You will be asked several questions to verify that you are the owner of the account. If you used this password for other accounts, change them too - make every one different. Make the password longer than 8 characters, with mixed symbols. Usually, this is all you need to do, although mail will still be sent in the name of the old account for a while. 2. *** If spam mail was sent to any of your contacts, apologize, and notify all your contacts NOT to open short e-mails, especially those with no subject, and definitely not to click any links. Warn them to scan for malware too, just in case. Set up an alternate 'alias' account to use instead. This allows you to use a different address for sending, but still keep all saved mails and contacts and the first address active too for incoming mail. Your friends can trust this new address. (There is a choice of address in an arrow in the From: box.) http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias (alternate address)
