How do i bring up my emails

You have to go to the email server on the internet, at least that is one way to view emails by using the internet browser to get there. If it is Gmail, you go to www.gmail.com If it is Yahoo, got to www.Yahoo.com If you are not already signed in, when going to the email website, it will show a place to sign in with your password, then it will take you to your email page.

1.Login to your Yahoo! Mail account using your current username and password [Click Here]. Below are the Yahoo! mail Login boxes below with illustrations.

Type in your username and password into the boxes and click Sign In.

Once you are logged in, locate and click your username on the top-left corner of the page eg. Click "Hi Mike....." Now, from the drop-down menu that appears, select Account Info.

A new browser/tab/window will appears asking you to verify your password.

Type your password into the box and click Sign In. The Account Information page appears. Now on the Account Information page, locate "Change Your Password".

Lost my password to yahoo messanger

Your Yahoo! Messenger password is usually the same as the password for your Yahoo! account.

(1) If you know your Yahoo! account ID and password, just enter that in Yahoo! Messenger. On the Messenger screen, clear the boxes for ID and password, then re-enter your Yahoo ID and password, then click "Sign on".

(2) If you don't know your Yahoo! account password, you will need to reset it.
Go to the Yahoo password page:
https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/
and follow the prompts. Yahoo will send an email to reset your password.

After you have reset the password, then enter the new password in Yahoo! Messenger, and sign in.

I have some hack or virus that is sending emails from my yahoo account to my contacts with a link to a canadian company selling viagra and cialis, etc.. I want to stop this from happening...

Recently spam hackers have been hijacking Email accounts to use for their own dirty deeds and scams. The best thing to do is to deactivate your Yahoo account and make a new one.

Click here to go to the Yahoo compromisation web site and follow the instructions to disable your account.

The reason deleting the account is because these spam hackers are sending unwanted advertising to all your contacts claiming to be you. As far as you know they might even be sending emails to all your contacts asking for money.
There was a recent scam where spam hackers hijacked this lady's account and sent a message to all her contacts that she was stuck in Namibia and needed money to be sent to a specified account to get home.

To stop it, delete your email account, or if you are able to regain access, change your password to something a little more complex and define for yourself a few security questions only you would know. Another thing is just to contact all the people you had in your contacts and tell them that you account has been compromised and that they must ignore any emails received from it.
