Yahoo Mail" sent "account update" mail saying "verify". Is this spam or virus?

You never, and I repeat, NEVER open an email that says "Dear Customer," or Dear Member, or Deatr anything but your real name. The #1 rule of email is: If you don't know who it's from, DON'T OPEN IT. The #2 rule: Never open attachments if you do open a strange message.

That's how viruses spread. I've been a senior citizen so long I can't count the years. But I've taught basic computer skills to seniors for years and find this is now the #1 problem of "newbies" (new to the computer, new to the internet.) Just stick with the #1 rule above.

If the email doesn't have your actual name, like or something like that, don't open it. Put it in spam.

I just got the same message and I suspected it was a spam since it was not on my inbox but on my spam or bulk mail. It was hard to contact yahoo for this but Im glad I found my answer. Thank you.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
