My outlook get infected by virus, will the virus get transferred n make my yahoo email a/c get infected too?

my outlook is attacked by virus. So I wonder whether the virus will pass to my Free yahoo email account. Besides, if my free yahoo email a/c really get infected, what should I do? Since it is a web based mail and I am not going to upgrade to Yahoo preminum/ plus which cost me $20. So do you suggest that I simpily close the yahoo email a/c and get a new yahoo a/c? does closing yahoo a/c stop virus attacked mails from spreading to addresses?

  1. The virus infecting your computer will have no effect on your Yahoo Mail account. However, if you send any file attachments via your Yahoo Mail account, those files could be infected. Right now, though, I would suggest you get the virus cleaned up as quickly as possible. Most antivirus programs offer a free trial, but some are completely free. AVG has a free home version, I believe, as does avast.
  2. It may not affect yahoo...! I can give a few links that offer free virus and spyware removers...!You may be having a virus or spyware installed on your PC. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html
