Hello, Yahoo. I believe my computer is being "hacked" into. I went to the FBI.gov?

website to use it, and instead of seeing the official FBI Seal where the %26quot;favicon%26quot; is usually located by the web address, I saw a funny little cartoon face instead. I generally go to Yahoo.com to do all of my searches. Tell me, how can I (1.) change the %26quot;favicon%26quot; to what it needs to be (the official FBI seal) and (2.) now how can I be sure that my Yahoo mail account isn%26#039;t being tampered with and the emails are indeed being sent to the addresses I%26#039;ve used?|||1) You can%26#039;t change a favicon. It is generated by the website owner.


2) Verify the Sent To address by looking at emails in your Sent folder.





If you still have any concerns, change your Yahoo password. Here%26#039;s a site with tips on how to create secure passwords:

Btw, we are not Yahoo. Yahoo Answers is Yahoo users answering questions for other Yahoo users. To contact Yahoo, go to your mail page %26amp; click the Help link. It will lead you to a Contact Us page where you can communicate with Yahoo





...|||So, if you can%26#039;t change a favicon, and it%26#039;s generated by the website owner, then if it isn%26#039;t the %26quot;official seal%26quot; of a government website, then I%26#039;m at a phony website, if the %26quot;official seal%26quot; isn%26#039;t there? Thanks for your response. Also, thanks for letting me know how to communicate with Yahoo.

did you give anybody the password


change it regularly that is a good thing|||I dont think your Comp is hacked, you must have miss-spelled it while typing, just recheck or use a different browser like mozilla or safari or opera, you can download them for free from the internet.


You can reset the browser to its default settings and remove the cookies and recently used sites. In case if the above doesn%26#039;t work then your browser may be hijacked (technical term by a worm/virus)

Can you please tell me if my computer is infected in some way?

I opened Internet Explorer, which went to my homepage of Google, and I noticed that the little icon beside the URL (favicon?) is now changed to some icon with orange background and a curved design which looks like the letter C. Is my computer infected? How can I fix this to make it go back to the normal Google icon? Has this happened to anyone else? Please help me.|||Follow these exactly and then it should change it.

Why did the MSN favicon on my PC change to a blogger favicon? is it because of CCLEANER?

I have MSN and a Blogger website set as default tabs upon opening IE7. The problem is, when i opened it today, MSN showed the blogger favicon while the blogger tab showed a normal IE favicon. I know this is a minor concern... But it%26#039;s really getting to me. I ran CCLEANER before this happened. Is CCLEANER capable of doing that? I tried System Restore too, but that didn%26#039;t work.. Why did the favicons change by itself?





I tried opening MSN in firefox and it shows the MSN favicon.. and then i tried opening in IE again and MSN shows the blogger favicon.. How can i change it back?





Please help! It%26#039;s really bothering me~|||It might be a glitch.





You might want to try to close IE7 completely and then get rid of both of them as default tabs and then opening them up again.

How do I get my WordPress favicon to work? I followed the directions but all I see is a white square.?

I have a WordPress blog [hosted on Dreamhost] and I would like to add a favicon to my site. I created a 16x16 image, saved it as a .ico file, uploaded it to my account, and copied some text into my header.php file [I found the instructions on the WordPress website]. This changed my favicon from nothing to a white square, but the two letters on the icon are not present. I checked the image and it%26#039;s still good. What have I done wrong?|||Need to see the link tag code you used to link to favicon. Saving it as an ICO file is right. Wish people wouldn%26#039;t answer questions when they don%26#039;t know what they are talking about.

Normally a link tag is between the head tags and is like the following:





%26lt;link rel=%26quot;shortcut icon%26quot; type=%26quot;image/x-icon%26quot; href=%26quot;favicon.ico%26quot;%26gt;





Ron|||Don%26#039;t save it as an .ico file. This will save it as a Windows icon file. Browsers can%26#039;t read this type of file.





Re-save it as a normal GIF. Then, go to the file in your file explorer and rename it to %26quot;favicon.ico%26quot;. It must be named that, because some conceited browsers like IE ignore tags that point to a file of another name.|||I also had problem wit favicon. I was doing everything correctly, but it didn%26#039;t display favicon for my site.





Eventually I found a WordPress plugin to display favicon - http://www.digitalramble.com/favicon-man鈥?/a>|||you can use http://www.veryicon.com/favicon.php to generate a favicon and put it in you web root directory

Yahoo! infultrated my favicon, how can I fix this?

Today I successfully designed and uploaded my new favicon. It worked beautifully all day on Firefox, Explorer, and Opera. Then at some point tonight Yahoo! somehow changed the favicon to a Y! symbol and no matter how many times I delete and try to reupload, it won%26#039;t change back. Is there anything I can do?|||Hi, I just noticed this on my site too. I deleted yahoo%26#039;s favicon which is the defaut favicon.ico in your root directory. I uploaded my favicon.ico file to another directory in my site called %26quot;images%26quot; and in the head tags of of my store I placed the following:





%26lt;link rel=%26quot;shortcut icon%26quot; href=%26quot;http://YOURDOMAIN.com/images/favic鈥?%26lt;!-- old tag --%26gt;


%26lt;link rel=%26quot;icon%26quot; type=%26quot;image/ico%26quot; href=%26quot;http://YOURDOMAIN.com/images/favic鈥?%26lt;!-- new tag --%26gt;





I put that code at the top of all of my regular html pages too


and it works everywhere.





Hope this helps :)





Bex|||Hi,





Had same thing happening - changed the name of my favicon from favicon.ico to anandaapothecary.ico (our web address) and called it in the html header. Perhaps Yahoo%26#039;s favicon is also called favicon.ico...anyway, back to our good ol%26#039; custom favicon - though I think I might have to change the link rel=%26quot;shortcut icon%26quot; on every page of the site...not sure yet.





Cheers,


Eric|||I was very disappointed to discover the same thing happened to my site today. I think it is very out of line and inappropriate for Yahoo to override files of people using Yahoo hosting.





That said, simply re-upload your favicon image and name it something other than favicon.ico. It seems that Yahoo is only replacing your image with theirs on files specifically named favicon.ico. Rename the file to myfav.ico and redirect the shortcut icon in your header to the new filename.|||Yahoo has done this to me too....I%26#039;m outraged. I pay for the server space and didn%26#039;t give Yahoo permission to change my files. I have over 7000 webpages and don%26#039;t want to edit them to get rid of the stupid Yahoo favicon. They really screwed up this time.|||WOW, that really made me mad and took a long time to fix. A very cheap move by Yahoo.





Thank you for the answers on how to fix it.
