Several of the people in my address book reported that they have received E-mails from me that contain 2 attached files, one zipped (with virus) and other file that is corrupted. I did not send out any of those files my self. I have also received E-mails from other people with the same type of attachements. I have scanned my PC with Symantec AV, and nothing came up. Any one knows what is going on? Please help me out...

It really depends upon whether you use Outlook Express to access your mail on Yahoo. Free mail accounts on Yahoo cannot be accessed directly by Outlook unless you use a special add-on. So, if you are not using Outlook Express the likelihood that your computer was used to send the emails drops to practically zero.
