Does Yahoo offer a anti virus? If so where can I get it?

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.

You need not need that, Yahoo already uses Symantec Antivirus solutions, so youn are secure my default. If you want to still scan your attachments, you can do so. Simply download the attachment from your Yahoo account, and scan with your antivirus engine

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.

Use a anti-spyware from www.yahoo.com

on your interenet browser right click, check properties. on the general tab verify if the home page shows something either than yahoo. if so, change it back to yahoo.com. then select to clear history.  delete cookies and delete files.  if this does not work.. check for a trojan.  that is really what this is more so than a virus.  \n\nhope this helps.

Yahoo in itself will not give you viruses, but beware of people that send files over im or try to get you to visit websites.  Also be sure that you have a good virus protection program and firewall.\n\nHere is another answer for the same question that answers it very succinctly

Its unofficial for an Anti virus company to send you an e-mail indicating that you need to install their attached file, to clean the viruses presented in your computer.\n\nFor the good sake, do not even read any e-mail with or without attachment which says about virus issues. They are the virus spreaders.\n\nFor example: Symantec the most largest anti virus corporation which Yahoo too has subscribed will not send e-mail to receipent informing them to install anti virus software. So the best choice is to delete them forever.\n\nIf you do not have an anti virus software I recommend that you install Symantec Norton Antivirus from thier site at http://www.symantec.com\n\nBYE

Some games and applications won't complete a download unless you disable your antivirus. Apparently that's what happened here. You should be able to temporarily disable your AV program, and re-download the game. But be careful! Not all of the games in Yahoo are safe to download. And be sure to re-enable your antivirus as soon as the download is complete. It would then be a good idea to run the antivirus program to be sure you didn't download a bug, virus, worm, etc.

Yahoo messenger has nothing with virus protection or pop-up blockers. Here are some freebies.\n\n All here have totally free versions that can scan AND remove.\n\nAnti-virus downloads (complete programs free for life)\nAVG\nAnti-Vir\nAvast!\nBitDefender 8\n\nAnti-virus on-line scanners\nBitDefender\n\nAnti-Ad/Spyware downloads (complete programs free for life)\nAdaware Se\nSpybot Search and Destroy\nMicrosoft Anti-Spy Beta\nYahoo Toolbar w/ant-spy\n\nAnti-trojan Specialists downloads (complete programs free for life)\na-squared\nEwido\n\nAnti-trojan Specialists on-line scanners\nEwido\n\nFree Firewalls\nZone-Alarm\nKerio\nOutpost\n\nAd/Spyware Prevention (stops pests BEFORE the infect your computer)\nSpywareBlaster\nSpywareGuard\nIE-Spyad\nWinpatrol\n\nSome of these are "not-full-featured" versions of the developers paid programs. But they will all give more then adaquite protection for the averege home user. Sometimes you have to hunt for them a bit on the makers web-site. But they are there. I have tryed all of the above at one time or another. All work well. All are free.\n\nAlways check out any spyware programs againest the "Rogue" list at Spywarewarrior before you use it. Sadly a huge industry has sprung up, selling programs of dubious quality for big bucks. Most of the sponsered (Paid) links you see on Goggle or Yahoo search are of this type. Avoid them. A link to Spwarewarrior:\nhttp://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#products  \n \nI would use Norton until your subscription runs out, then you can "roll your own" security suite using free products.\n\nJust remember that Norton must be totally uninstalled before using another anti-virus product or else\nthere will be a conflict. Use the tool on the Norton website to uninstall it.

I would recommend using TrendMicro's (formerly SpySubtract) Anti-Spyware.  You can download a trial version here:\n\nhttp://www.trendmicro.com/download/trial/trial-as.asp\n\nI used to use Spybot, Yahoo Anti-Virus, Ad-Aware,... you name it, I tried it.  Anyway, TrendMicro's product worked for me!!

It is located on the Yahoo Toolbar.  First goto the Yahoo Home page, find Yahoo Downloads.  Find Anti Spyware and download.
