The problem, YM message is apparently not sent by your friend, but because of its Yahoo Account has been known and used to send messages to all contacts lead to click a link that opens a web page that asks for Yahoo Mail and password.

Immediately ask your friend to change the Password and YM check carefully whether the data support the account in accordance with still Yahoo himself. If it is still appropriate, ‘may’ Yahoo accounts can still be used. But if you was, was paranoid and want to apply a mode, change your Yahoo account with the new and do not forget to complete your Yahoo login with ‘Sign in Seal “and always see the Yahoo address each time entering a username and password.

Firefox – Internet Explorer – Safari

One thing interesting is experienced in accessing the site using some of forgery is a different browser such as Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari are: By default (without any special settings) Firefox browser version 3.0.6 are relatively safe from the Internet Explorer browser and version 7.0.6001.18000 Safari version 3.2.1.

Why? Firefox warned repeatedly access the site each time that it seems quite forgery ‘unreasonable’ if the firefox user to be deceived by this site.

So, when you first go to the site www.holiday-picz.com directly get colored red warning icon with a picture of police holding signs traffic’ no entry ‘(try not clear how the message is given?) Reported that the site is dangerous and falsified, and only a simple two-button click on:
