I was on my yahoo mail, and stupidly clicked on an email I shouldn't have. It said that my Yahoo account was going to be deleted, so, of course, without thinking, I got concerned and clicked into it. I immediately recognized it as spam and deleted it....however....a few minutes later I heard a BEEP noise and a message popped up! It said VIRUS DETECTED. This was the screen. What should I do? PLEASE HELP!!!!
