Hi, OMG I am so stressed right now. For some reason I cannot log into my Yahoo mail account or any of the websites that I visit on a regular basis. For my yahoo mail it says that I'm logged in but it's doing that thing that it does sometimes:

"To protect your account, you need to confirm your password periodically.

Some Yahoo! services, such as Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Address Book, require you to periodically enter your password even though you are already signed in. We do this to protect your personal information."

And when i try to go to the link that it provides to change the setting it puts me write back at the log in page. But no matter how many times i put in my password it says the same thing. I even changed my password and there was no change. Do I have a computer virus? Has anyone ever heard of this? Somebody please help me?!?!

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.12

Hi there,

its for security reasons

when signing in you can check the

"sign me in for 2 weeks"

then it wont ask for the password again

Thanks

Hi thanks for you reply.

That's not an option. I've pressed the keep me logged in for 2 weeks button but it still wont let me log in. I should add that I have another computer in my house and I have no problem with logging into anything. That's why I believe this to be a virus.
