    I'm not very technical so you are going to have to help me with this.:confused:

    I was having a look through my comp files...doing a few searches as you do...and I came across a yahoo messenger file, empty group: named id and archive file...? I decided to open a yahoo messenger account myself and it created the same type of files to the ones I discovered. Looks like someone has set up a yahoo messenger account using this computer before me...or could it be a virus?!? I don't know.

    My question is, is it possible for 'somehow' it could be the job of a virus creating a file on my computer like this? Or is that impossible, and clearly been a past acount created by someone who has used this computer. By the way, The ID name is closely associated with someone who does use this computer, but says it definitely has nothing to do with them and that they never in the past have used yahoo msnger or knowledge of that id. Help please!
