It has an attachment for the message and I scanned it (so glad I did) and it said attachment not clean-virus found!!
Has anyone had this? And how do I report it to Yahoo?

I haven't gotten this.

I have an sbcglobal account, and haven't gotten any spam since I got it in January.

I think when you open the mail there is a link at the top of the email that says something like this is spam. WHen you click on that link it allows you to block the address and/or report it.

This is the internet worm that has been affecting everyone.

DO NOT BLOCK the address, or report it as spam, or you won't EVER get email from yahoo admin again!!!

NoOne sent this to you, it was the WORM that caused admin@yahoo . com to send that email.

Just delete it, and make sure that your virus definitions are up to date.

I have gotten that e-mail more than I care to count, just hit the deleate button, it will come from many different yahoo e-mail addys.

It has that blaster virus attached, DO NOT OPEN!

blocking will not work, they use many diff. e-mails for the from field and reporting does no good, I tried and never heard a word from yahoo and I still get it daily.
