Okay I would shut down internet connection then run spyware and virus scans. If the site is saying you are downloading worms kill the connection. No internet the worm can't function. then it's easier to root it out.

SCAM! SCAM! This is just another way of spreading a virus. Never run an .exe file from an attachment.

I got one yesterday supposedly from Norton saying to click on the link - didn't do it as I trust my anti virus software and don't have Norton installed on my computer.

Yahoo doesn't send stuff like that, they will never send you exe files. that's a virus. If you want to scan your system use a genuine antivirus program.
