yeah...started that but found yahoo to be just that concerning
this...a yahoo. was really hard to find the answer! Kept getting "log
in to your account then to change password"!!

Found face book too

thanks to all who helped. now I imagine we need to to a police report
also. she was on a mac and I am still questioning what, where who, to
get to the bottom of how. She lost access to her social sites and her
bank account was cleanned out. I have her now scanning with a checker
and dns-changer remover just in case. Koobface is only thing I know of
she could have been hit

hi
anyone have the contact for yahoo and FB for password changing and to
report possible exploit used. The person cannot access any of her
password protected sites (email, FB, bank, etc). Police said contact
them. I am looking for it now but thought someone  on the list had
them handy.

Has the "stranded" spam gone further to also providing a link that
installs? That is so far what I have been able to get out of
her..waiting on call.

       Start with Google and use the resources Yahoo and Facebook provide. You
need to get this started as it will just get worse as you wait.
       Yahoo Security Center may help too.

       Unfortunately, you have to do it on their time. Good luck!
