Yahoo mail is not letting me sign in for some reason.
It started a while back when signing in it would make me repeat signing in a few times before it would work unless I was in the "secure" mode.
Now it won't work at all. It tells me the "incorrect password/ID" note but I know they are correct.
I sent them a note but that likely won't go anywhere.
Any ideas? - I can use my Hotmail account for furthur work but I have some notes/forms that I need from my storage at Yahoo so I need to get back in.

Update - I did manage to get back in but I still have basically the same problem. Could this be a virus of soem kind even though I use Norton, Adaware, Spaybot?

I have 2 yahoo account that I use regularily, and have no probs. What I would suggest is to try using yahoo messanger. Sings you in automatically and allows you to recieve email alerts as they come.
That way once you connect, you're pretty much connected indefinitley.

Yahoo probably wants to drop a cookie in your computer when you are signed in (so it knows you are "in session"), and one of the security programs you are using may be preventing this from happening. I'd suggest temporarily disabling those background security programs one at a time and try logging in to Yahoo again, see if that makes a difference.
