Depending on your OS and revision, its possible, but probably not a virus. You might have downloaded a Windows virus, which would only affect any Windows PCs that come in to contact with your system.

Whether or not you have, in fact, a virus on your Mac, I recommend getting an Anti-Virus program.

Check out Sophos.com. They have a free version that is fully functional. They usual suspects have Mac versions, too... Symantec and McAfee.

Once installed, do a full scan to see if any viruses are detected, and take appropriate action.

How do I get facebook to unblock my acct. as it has been blocked for 2 weeks.

Would've been more specific if you attached some screenshots of that 'white page' you saw. And, by the way, do have haters or stalkers on Facebook? If you do, then they might've reported your timeline. Have you submitted a gov't ID or 2 alternate ID's [a birth or marriage certificate or a utility bill will do also]? If not, please do so. If that account is a dummy account [meaning, it's a fictional name you were using] then by all means, create a fake ID then submit it. And good luck.

I cannot open any attachments, how do I fix this?

A Yahoo posting suggests that you disable scanning attachments in your anti virus software.If that fails go back to classic mail Hope this helps. or else http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-33677-can-t-download-attachments-on-my-yahoo-email
I had the same problem, which had to do with my anti-virus (Trend Micro). I had to go into Virus Controls; then Protection Against Viruses; click on Settings and uncheck the box that said "Threats in Web mail attachments". Remember, Yahoo uses Norton to download attachments so you can't have two virus protections "running" at the same time.
i think this will help u thanks vote for me
