I had a nightmare with Yahell and hatemail just the other day. I unplugged the modem and the computer and switched everything off for the night (well from about 0600 am until i decided to get my butt out of bed). I had done a clean up and disk defrag before i decided to give the poor old puter a break. It seemed to work ticketyboo after that. Another thing, if you have any software that updates automatically for security, you might find that a pop up/under/over/sidewayswotever blocker, try holding down the control button as you try to open your yahell. Hope this works, otherwise.............. a good plan here, a can of petrol (gas), box of matches and a wide open space, your computer will go woof like a doggie.......... haha.
