    a friend of mine was askin me earlier today, she's been havin a problem with her email


    when she tried to insert names from her address book it doesnt do it.

    im not 100% sure of what email account she's using (i.e. ms outlook, hotmail, yahoo, aol, etc)

    but could this be a problem with a possible virus?spyware??trojan??


    any help is appreciated

    well i know that ddp.... i thought you meant that certain virus software would block this option.... as for those programs, i have all of them on a disc, those are my everyday tools...


    anyways no need to trip she was using web based email.... yahoo....and when i got there today it was working fine, it was just a glitch with the yahoo mail yesterday......

    but as always man, thanks for your input...
