Subject: Password stealing virus created by someone with a yahoo account!

To whom it may concern:

I currently have Norton's 2000 Anti Virus protection on my PC, which has detected a PW Stealer Trojan virus. When we change our password on our AOL account, our password is sent back to us via e-mail from a Yahoo account yes_rpg@yahoo.com . My understanding of this virus is that when the password is stolen, it is sent to the person who created the virus. Is there any way this person can be brought to justice. I feel totally violated. Can this account be assessed by Yahoo?

I would appreciate your comments,

Thank You,

Food for thought: If the shoe was on the other foot, would you walk that extra mile?
