Re: My.yahoo downloading trojan's?

Hello,

Yes, I have seen these exact symptoms. In addition, I saw that IE wanted to load the chinese character set and some kind of popup window appeared with a chinese looking name on it. It's either chinese dissidents or chinese gov't behind it. After deleting the previously mentioned files in system32, The b**tard hosed something to do with my Internet access. I can ping everything, but IE and Outlook Express won't work. I installed Firefox and that wouldn't work either. I haven't done anything else, but it looks like I'm going to have to run XP repair. I'm guessing it replaced one the Microsoft dll's related to http, probably a redirector of some kind. Everything works from my other computer so that's confirmed.

One thing I've noticed about my.yahoo.com since I started using it is that it actually goes to cm.my.yahoo.com; that's happening with Yahoo's explicit permission. They've farmed my yahoo out to Mainland Chinese programmers (not surprising since the CEO is chinese) and now that anally retentive Chinese premier has put gov't programmers on "payback" detail to western journalists for stirring up trouble... us poor my.yahoo.com saps got taken along for the ride... just a theory.

Is that what the "cm" stands for? I always wondered what that stood for. Actually, I only saw that when the new My.Yahoo page was in beta. I don't see the "cm" anymore.

Back on subject. My.Yahoo working ok here with Firefox and IE.
