I have had some strange messages coming up and have no idea what they mean in computer terms. I have tried to access Yahoo in several versions and get the following messages:

CONNECTION TIMED OUT

CONNECTION REFUSED

SERVER HANGUP

What on earth is going on? Has anyone else had this problem?

These messages appear on their own, on one line. No codes or other error messages.

Run a good antivirus... Nov 2, 2010

I haven't had experiences with this kind of issues, but to me it very much looks like a virus that generates random messages for you to restart your computer etc. I would run a good antivirus and see! Good luck!
