Ok.. I'm sorry .... I should have said a little more.... but I was in a hurry ..... LOL mea culpa!
I am running Tiger... and I have an emac. I was using firefox browser. Went to my Yahoo email inbox.... I opened the email because I thought it was from someone I knew.... I did not click on any links however.... just the email. About a half hour later..... I was getting Mailer Daemons and Yahoo rejections.... below is a sample of what I got.... no links are infected.... I do belong to the group... and it looks like "i" sent the email.... so I ASSUMED that I got the "worm"... LOL It only affects people with @yahoo email addresses.... it did nnot send the message to anybody BUT those in my email address book with _________ at yahoo So I am not sure if "my emac" is affected or not.... Thanks again. Fretting JJ LOL ********************************************************************** Date: 12 Jun 2006 15:02:07 -0000 To:jjtoyou at yahoo.com From:"Yahoo!
