yahoo Hacks

Hello Everyone,

 I’m reading the headlines about Yahoo hacks and have no idea what to do.    I have changed my Yahoo password several times in the last few months.  I am getting popup windows asking for my Yahoo password and I don’t know how to tell if those are real or fake.    Paralyzed!

What are others experiencing/doing?  Help

Thank you,

If these are appearing in your browser, either (a) the browser is infected or (b) you're going to some shady sites.

Suggest that you do a complete virus scan of your computer at the most extensive settings.

Then download and run Malwarebytes -- the free version -- no need to pay for it.

Then download and run Spybot - Search and Destroy -- the free version -- no need to pay for it.

This should eliminate any malware on the computer and in the browser causing popups.
