[QUOTE="Chef_eam, post: 1082302, member: 135390"] If it is coming from a Yahoo! e-mail account, it sounds like your friend's account has been hacked, which has nothing to do with a virus (no viri in the wild for a Mac...the Mac AV programs only scan for Windows viri that cant affect the Mac anyway), and nothing to do with it being a Mac. Your friend needs to change their password on the Yahoo! mail account to something secure, and also make sure that it is not set to keep him/her logged in for 2 weeks or whatever the default is on Yahoo!.
