    The addresses on my email list all got sent the same thing, that I didn't really send. Subject said: mailer-daemon@yahoo.com . It had been sent to my list of email addresses. The link it tried to get you to click on was blackorchid.cz/wp......

    How dangerous is this and what should I do ?:confused:confused

    That URL just seems to be a site in Czech Republic that has pictures of Black Orchids. As far as I can tell, it is not dangerous. If you are worried about your PC being infected, the below is your starting point:

    Now I was told that I was a subject of 'phishing' on Facebook. All of my friends were sent something from 'find out how to be-thing and 'learn how to be thing'-they both ended with cxcy5.blogspot.com Would appreciate anything you know.

    I don't know what you want me to tell you. Nothing in your last message means anything to me. It just sounds like you are posting partial/incomplete information about something you have seen. I cannot tell you anything about parital/incomplete or inexact information. The URL you listed because it does not exist.

    If you wish to know whether your PC is infected, you need to follow the instructions I already gave.
