(Not) agreed to share info...

[Hgrove]

Hello, I have received a strange e-mail that says that I have agreed to share Yahoo info with someone whose name I don't recognise. I clicked on "stop sharing" and removed this person. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Should I be worried someone is taking over my computer? Help please!

Clicking on buttons in strange emails is something which is most definitely NOT to be recommended!!

That email almost certainly wasn't genuine. Unless you were NAMED in the introduction (e.g. "Dear Harry Grove") it's almost certainly dodgy. (Never trust anything which starts "Dear member", "Dear customer, "Dear Yahoo user", etc).

By clicking that button you have, at the very least, told the sender that your email address (which was probably generated at random) is genuine. You might now find that you'll get hundreds of spam emails.

Far worse though is the possibility that you actually accepted something 'nasty' onto your computer. Run a full virus scan and then run any anti-malware software which you've got. If you've not got anything suitable, use the free version of this:

It is spam and should be deleted. You can expect to get loads more now as you have clicked on the link it gave. NEVER click links in emails you are not expecting.
