I do PC repair for a living and I would so no.  I see a lot of computers with the yahoo! anti virus have a lot.  On the other hand, suceptibility to viruses/spyware has a lot to do with surfing habits.  The most infected systems visit a lot of porn sites and/or do a lot of filesharing and/or online gambling.  If one avoids these things, you can keep a pretty clean system.  If you're interested in a decent free anti-spyware / anti-virus program, check the links below.  I recommend bit-defender and ad-aware.

Hello,\nFirst off, if you are using Yahoo's new Beta email then don't worry, and if not then I would highly recommend it, it is very cool. But now to the virus. Here is the link to the report:\nhttp://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_164151137.html\nBasiclly Yahoo says they have resolved the issue.\nCheers ...\nRick

Nothing is entirely safe on the internet. I don't mean Yahoo is dangerous. I mean anyone can hack anything. So, I never give away important information about me.

i don't believe the person above me asked if you have a yahoo id. of course you do or you couldn't asked this question. wakey wakey fool :)\n\nyahoo mail is working fine for me.\n\ntry scanning for viruses and spyware.\n\n◙ The very best virus scanners are free. Mcafee & Norton Antivirus are mostly hype and won't do as good as the free ones.\n\n◙ Download and install AVG. Use it first and see if it finds any viruses or trojans.\n\n► http://www.grisoft.com/\n\n◙ After running AVG go here and runn this one online. No need to install it.\n\n► http://housecall.trendmicro.com/\n\n◙ Best spyware remover is Ad Aware. Download and instalkl the free version.\n\n◙ http://www.lavasoft.com/\n\n◙ Do yourself a favor and read their help and faqs pages.

Doesn't spam give you viruses?

This is Mr. Yahoo. I seized your IP address and decided to answer your question :) \n\nActually, not only can Yahoo seize any of the traffic or IMs you send, but so can anyone with access to security, de-cryption, and large CPU power...in other words any large government agency. \n\nYour secrets are safe with Yahoo though, they don't sell their stuff to advertisers as much as Google does. \n\nYou have more to worry about identity theft from someone stealing your personal information from discarded mail in your trash bin then to worry about packets being sniffed on the internet.

Yahoo toolbar doesnt have virus protection that is very dependable, so i'd say still use a good antivirus program. Though Yahoo Toolbar does carry a decent pop up blocker.

Here is what you need to do:\n\nOpen the email and header. Copy the entire Email. Make no changes to it. Be sure the Header and Subject line is complete.\n\nCompose a new email and paste this email into it.\n\nIf you don't know how to open the header, go to this site and click on your email program:\n\nhttp://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html\n\n\n\nSend this emai to:  abuse@yahoo.com\n\nDO NOT FORWARD EMAILS TO THEM. THE AV PROGRAM WILL DETECT THE VIRUS AND DELETE IT.

two things \n\nfirst make sure your settings alow you recieve email attachment, and also allow you to send email attachments.  Yahoo is good with that because you can get into your account settings and do anything you like with them. \n\n\nsecond thing, you may have a virus, an email virus, again, yahoo has antivirus software in it just for your email attachments, and its free!\n\ndo an online virus scan and make sure you dont have a virus, then check your internet explorer settings, or what ever browser you are using.   if you are not using your own computer your administrator may have disabled some of your settings to protect the computer from unwanted emails.

In a chat room you can have a virus get on your computer if you click on anything. Most chat rooms nowadays (at least on Yahoo) are nothing but bots foisting porn sites, not really worth it.\nIronically Yahoo was OK when there were user rooms and groups of online friends could actually chat. Because of a big minor-related bust the user rooms got shut down.
