Thank you to everyone who viewed or replied to this post. I had read a post to notify my ISP. They are Wide Open West,(a.k.a. WOW). At first the were very apprehensive about doing anything. Their reason COST. I thought that was unbelievable. However I have posted below the first reply from WOW, and my reply. Well at 6:15 A.M. this morning all is fixed. Please read the email. I guess I was not the only person in this situation. Someone may have realized that security, VS. cost should win every time. The first reply from own at WOW was his email, then my reply, and finally WOW's action notice. Again thank you to all.
Thank you for providing us with the crucial feedback, due to the feedback from you, and our other customers, we have gone ahead and removed the ads from the inbox. J

Own,
With all due respect to the WOW tech team, but you guys are missing the point. The “Beap.gemini.yahoo.com” can change browser settings. By allowing the worm in, you are now opening up not only me, but your entire server network to infection causing far more viruses, worms, and trojan to enter. This also means if the change can occur in the browser, it can change security settings. Which if the issue here is cost, put a price tag on the WOW internet being down, or just slowing down for consumers, as well as businesses. Here is just one web site that explains the issue. I know it is a site trying to sell spy hunter. But just google “beap.gemeini.yahoo.com” and you will see what I am talking about. The web site http://windowsproble...niyahoocom.html. I think WOW is putting the cart before the horse so that they can reach a health bottom line, at the customers expense. I will begin to look for an ISP that takes security, and customer care before cost cutting and bottom lines.
