It's not entirely impossible but highly unlikely.

Do they, not necessarily. Can they, yes. You are downloading something into your computer, which you believe to be a computer game, but could very well be a virus. Just as you should never open an attachment unless you are expecting it or trust the sender, you should never download an internet game unless you know the source is safe.

Regular, free Yahoo membership which 90% of the world has, does not provide any virus or malware protection.\n\nBut since your ISP, AT&T, has partnered with Yahoo, you  get some free extras including an anti-virus app.\n\nInfo is here:\nhttp://promo.yahoo.com/att/surf_safely.html\n\nOf course, you as the computer owner, are responsible to install these apps yourself, they just won't magically appear on your computer!\n\nGood luck.

Starware isn't with Yahoo.\n\nNo its not a virus, but it comes equipped with the usual unappreciated Spyware/Adware.

I don't see why not.  They would be two different viruses.  I believe I've had more than one at a time, and I know my daughter has.

internet security and antivirus programs often come packaged together.\n\nInternet security would include things like a pop-up blocker and a firewall to stop bad programs being downloaded.\n\nantivirus I think would scan files which have been downloaded\n\nin general internet security is prevention and antivirus is the cure. Having both is usually a good idea.\n\n\nedit: yahoo has its own virus scanner for attachments which is separate from anything you have on your computer

You always need Anti-virus software.  You might run into harmful spyware that invites viruses from other sources like websites, chat tools and download websites.  \n\nBut yes, Yahoo's built-in anti-virus is good.

If you are asking if it is a virus then no it is not.  However, it seems that it CAN but may not cause issues on Windows 98FE, 98SE and ME.  Which operating system are you using?

Email messages themselves can't contain viruses. However, files that are attached to messages can contain viruses. Yahoo! Mail provides free scanning and cleaning of attachments to all users who get incoming email through the web interface as well as to Mail Plus subscribers who POP their incoming mail.\n\nWhen you receive a message with an attachment, click on the "Scan and Download Attachment" link. This will automatically check the attachment for any known viruses. \n\nIf none are found, you can download the file. If a virus is found, it will be automatically cleaned, if possible. After the file is cleaned successfully, you can download the file.

No, at least they shouldn't.  However some games you download form the web come bundled with other programs like spyware and adware, both of which can seriously degrade the computer's performance even while not playing the game.\n\nAlso, some anti-copying software shipped with commercial games has been known to play havoc with computers. The worst of these that I've run into is StarForce copy protection.  Here's a website that lists titles of games that include that noxious program:\n\nhttp://www.similarities.org/starforce.html\n\nAs far as spyware/adware removal, there are several tools out there.  Two of the most popular are Ad-Aware from LavaSoft and Spybot Search and Destroy. Both are free and I recommend using at least one of them on a regular basis.\n\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
