Everyone in her address book is getting lewd messages and attachments (that i haven't opened but I guess they'll no be nice) - she has a Yahoo e mail - how would I go about reporting this?

She will need to contact yahoo, they should be able to take care of it from there.
Oh, I read recently that Facebook people were getting crude things sent to their friends. I hope your daughter gets it sorted soon Soozy, she must be really embarrassed ...x
Have a look at this link which specifically deals with where a Yahoo mail account has been hacked.
Try to get her password changed on a clean computer rather than hers. Also on the clean computer send emails to all her contacts advising them not to open a recent email from her - it could contain a virus.
On her computer do a full virus check before she starts using her email again.
Thanks everyone - she's working away for a couple of days but I'll get her on to it tomorrow evening! How does this sort of thing work - could it be someone she knows?
