Has anyone heard of the website nilisi.com?  There was an email sent out this morning from my wifes yahoo email account, to everyone in her address book.  The email posted a link to this website (some type of chinese electronic retailer; probably fraudulent).  Somehow her password to yahoo mail has been stolen...

So, my question is: does my computer have a virus now?  Are my keystrokes being recorded?  Should I not access my bank accounts online?

-I have run a full system scan with Norton already and nothing was found.  I also have cleared my cookies and deleted the history of websites visited...

Thanks for any help or insight anyone might have.

 :o :o   I would think the problem is just  with the mail account. Can't be sure, though. Sorry I guess I'm no help  :(

Don't panic.

You probably login into a phishing site and gave your password away.

1. Change your password on your yahoo account.
2. Send an email to everyone on the list explaining what happened and say sorry.  ;)
3. Make sure when you log-in the URL is YAHOO.COM

Thanks for the feedback!  My wife already changed her password...hopefully this takes care of it! 

Thanks again "13"!
