Sorry if a repost but just giving a head's up to those that use Yahoo IM.
Apparently, there's some bug/virus/Spyware appy that's using Yahoo to send out IM's to people with a link. The link is something like "www.geocites.com/blondybabe" or "geocites.com/nakedwife4u". Anyway, if you get a random IM from someone in your address book with a similar link, do NOT click on it. It will take you to a Yahoo 360 page. But apparently, it will also hack into your Yahoo account and start sending out IM's to everyone in your address book with the geocities link. Just keeps spreading from there. Because it comes from someone in your addy book, it seems safe so just be on the lookout.
Anyone get one of these IM's yet? Got mine yesterday morning and then it sent out IM's around midnight last night to people in my addy book.
Edit: McAfee identified it as: W32/IRCbot.worm!MS05-039
