was sent by my own yahoo mail. My yahoo box was used (I can see the spam mail in mail sent box), and the same thing occurs ti my wife.
I think that is a keylogger on my PC.
I have used : AVG, spybot and ad-aware, but they found anything.

I have seen on internet forums that a lot of people have the same problems (with yahoo, hotmail, or gmail),
but I haven't found any solution.

Can someone help me ?

Thanks a lot !!!!!

They can spoof any username/email address. Check your sentbox in Yahoo to see if there are any emails you didn't send. I'm betting there aren't and you just got spoofed.

Hi Tarun

He says it was in his SENT box which would mean his account has been compromised by someone or some Bot.

He needs to contact Yahoo and let them know, and change his password (from another computer known to be clean) and not use Yahoo mail on the infected computer until he is certain it is clean.
