    I'm being harassed online?
    I am being blocked from Yahoo and when I diagnose a connection problem it says a firewall is blocking me from this site. It is not a firewall on my computer as I don't have any.
    Does this mean Yahoo is blocking me because my computer has a virus? Before I got blocked from the site a crazy person sent me emails harassing me and now I cannot access Yahoo because of them. I don't know who it is but I think it is a pedophile or someone with satanist/extreme religious views. How do I get rid of them? I tried changing my account but my IP address that is blocked.
    I did not give them my email address but they must have looked at my Yahoo profile and mailed me through that. How do I access Yahoo again? I am afraid they will destroy my computer until it is blocked from every site or send me bad pictures or virses.
    Is it Yahoo that is blocking me or the crazy person? If the crazy person put up the firewall are they using to hack into my computer right now? PLEASE HELP ME!

    You must have some software firewall program on your computer and Yahoo.com has been added to the list of blocked sites somehow. You'll have to figure out how to access the configuration screen of that program and remove the Yahoo entry.

    You should contact Yahoo personally (i.e. by telephone) and discuss your concerns with them. It could be Yahoo, your stalker or your computer.

    What exact message do you see when you go to Yahoo or try to login to Yahoo?

    Any changes that either happened or that you perhaps made to your computer around the time that the problem started; particularly any Software that you installed or setup

    Maybe you should get together and have a beer



    You are likely infected with a keylogger or remote control software


    You'll need to scan your hard drive from a clean machine, or from a boot disc
