ok... three days ago, i received this email from a person with the email address farzi@<hidden>'s not my JPA interviewer but i opened the email anyway

inside there's this attachment called you picture......i didn download it, coz somebody told me bout this being a virus before

but now i can't remove it from my yahoo mailbox... its in the BULK not the inbox.....everytime i try to delete it, a window pops up with the title, 'Yahoo! Mail-Confirm'..........it's grey in the background, with a check box beside the line 'don't show this message again'
with OK and CANCEL buttons at the bottom...the buttons don function.....

can anyone tell me if my computer is infected?

wat does this particular virus do?

HELP!!!

clear browser cache (and history if you want to), and try deleting it again.

Not sure if it would work, because I usually troubleshoot problems like these by hand.

Browser cache - when you visit a site, the web browser saves the page on the computer so it accesses it faster. Maybe there's something wrong with the caching system, that's why I asked you to empty the cache.
