Starting early this week I experienced trouble loggin into my various yahoo.com mail accounts... first into one, now into all of them. All that happens is, that it opens up a blank page (blank... nothing).
Anybody else experiencing this?

Thanks! ... J-D.

I just had a similar problem, tho before the blank page it said access denied.
Tried it about 4 times before it came up. Perhaps Yahoo was doing some service on their end.

This is going on for a week now... so I decided to try from an other machine adn... yahoo work. So, it's my computer.

I reseted all IE opitons to default.
I deleted all cookies and temporary files (offline ones too).

I run XP on an almost brand new machine. I don't open any atachements, don't (knowingly) download anything, but still, I think I might have a virus(?)
So, now what?

JD run a virus scan and see. You can get to it from your start menu or the icon might be in your system tray.

OK, I solved it.
I had PC-Cilin and an other spyware program pre-installed on the machine when it came new. I do not know how well updated these were.
I un-installed them.
I also looked with SEARCH for any *.exe files installed during the last 10 days and deleted the two found.
That did the trick.
I ahve had problems with older versions of AntiVirus software before and I think one really needs one that automatically updates itself.
Thanks for all the suggestions... J-D.
