- change your password immediately.
- they probably just got your password, it would be sort of hard to hack yahoo, but they could have hacked your computer and installed a key logger that records all of your keystrokes and picked up your password like that, if they did you really should scan your computer for viruses and get a new virus protection program. Then to stop the e-mail thing you should change your password AFTER YOU ARE SURE THERE IS NO KEY LOGGER. if the key logger is still active they will just use the new password.
- Sounds like you picked up a virus. Immediately have your computer checked for a bug or 'bugs.' Once it is clean of pests, install a firewall and an anti-virus program if you do not have one yet. I strongly recommend a program for malware and adware also. Changing your password may not be enough to secure your E-mail account again, and you may have to open a new one with a different ID name and password.
