Yahoo has a option for their email, and you may already be using it, but it helps to make your account more secure. It's called, a sign-in seal. there is also a security key creation step that is a second level of security beyond a password, i don't know when it comes into use though. As far as a password goes for yahoo, i would recommend a passphrase over a password. IE: "I love astronomy" spaces and all. add a period at the end for an added bonus. Something that might be handy is this: ftp://ftp.fourmilab.ch/pub/javascrypt/pass_phrase.html The Seed is your ultimate password. By default it shows some really long text, you can change that to be an extremely long passphrase. Once you've typed that in, based on that string it will generate passphrases based on your criteria. I would change it to 3 words, and uncheck number. This can be useful if you want to use passphrases for a bunch of stuff. The source for this is also downloadable if you don't trust it being up there, and you could just view the page locally on your machine.

I downloaded a new antivirus software and changed my email password. Hope this fixes it. Sorry again for all the garbage.

BTW, just to keep it light, of the 4 phony emails I received today one tried to direct me to an architectural firm. Hmmm, do you supposed that's how Kim drums up business. :)
