Possible Virus?

cvieor

<div class="IPBDescription">help please!</div> Alright for about a month I have been getting emails concerning "Your Yahoo! ID". Now I normally just discard them due to the fact that I frankly don't give a crap. The other day I got fed up and read it and clicked the stupid link. It redirected me to some yahoo page eventually, but I knew it was something that nothing to do with yahoo. Today I did not get an email, which may be linked to it. Now, I have virus scanned and spyware scanned and all that crap, but I'm still not 100% sure that my computer is clean. If anyone wants to help me and inspect this link then it would be appreciated. I'll reformat if I have to. Oh, and yes, I know I'm a ****, you can tell me twice. The email reads as followed (it was hyperlinked so it didnt say all that stuff):

De‮ra‬ Ya‮!ooh‬ M‮bme‬er,

edit your post.

deleate the HTML link.

use new lines in your main body.


and if fully update adaware, spy bot S&D, and AVG didn't catch anything, you are fine.

oh, and you could always use firefox.


and wait.


you clicked a link in an enmail where NONE of the words were spelled correctly?

Um, I didn't catch any misspellings, but I can't spell <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Yeah, adaware, spybot and avg didnt find anything, but I figured I could use a 2nd opinion.

Thansal

ZoneAlarm Firewall = Pwn.
AVG Antivirus = Pwn.
Spybot S&D = Pwn.

'Nuff said.

Thansal

oh, yah, firewall

I recomend just buying a router <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

So I guess no one checked the link. Oh well, I guess spybot/blaster/adaware/avg got it somewhere along the line. Reformatting wouldnt have been a biggie, I just built this and had to format the HD, but if there really is no threat then I won't bother.

edit: ahhhhhhh is there no help for me?

Guess I'll just forget about it, I learned my lesson for today.
