they work fine for me.. maybe it's your browser / set up..\nget the following, all are free for a safe surfing experience,\n\n\nANTI VIRAL\n\nAVG (free) http://free.grisoft.com/\n\n\nFIREWALL \n\nZoneAlarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp\n\nWEB BROWSER - http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird\n\nEMAIL  use thunderbird. It has a good built in spam filter and learns when you teach it. http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird\n\nSPYWARE\n\n http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\n http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html \n\n\nand if you have a wireless router follow these tips,\n\n\n1. Use WPA encryption (WPA-PSK) it's less crackable then WEP.\n\n2. Make a passphrase that is upper & lower case and has some numbers thrown in there as well, again harder to crack.\nsome like mAkE1t5eCurE0rel53 and as long as possible.\n\n3. Use MAC access control so only you or authorized PC's can connect (even if you do have encryption turned on)\n\n4. Turn off DHCP use static addresses.\n\n5. Turn off SSID (and change it) unless your card really needs it (some do)\n\n6. Change username/password of access unit front end\n\n7. Ensure you have the usual firewall enabled on your PC.\n\n8. Paranoia rules, turn WLAN off if your not using it :)\n\n\none last tip\ncontrol panel---administrator tools--services--messenger\n\nright clik on it\nstop the service\nthen disable it\nsave changes

It's gotten to the point of ridiculous.  YA allows anyone for any reason to report a "violation", and I'm willing to bet that 99% of the time no REAL violation has occurred.  Just some people being asses.

Sometimes you can, sometimes you can't.  It's because YA is WHACKED!    Sometimes I answer questions, and the question is listed in my answers, but my answer never appears with the others.  YA is suffering from growing pains ... or too many coffee breaks.

Well, for it to work properly, you have to ask questions, and they need to be answered. People don't usually ask questions in regular message boards. \nThis is a better place to "just answer the question"

While mycroft is right & it does appear to have been fixed; Beware of strange messages bearing attachments! Yahoo is Far from impervious, as we All have seen, & until they decide to redouble their efforts, we will continue to be vulnerable, especially when confronted with 'the glittering beads' approach to infection!

Is this a bot or spam thing?

If you are using Yahoo, it's because they have been having technical difficulties for a few days now.  :(\n\nThey have said that they are aware of the problem and are working to correct it ASAP.

If this is with Y! Messenger it is because the Y!ads are faling to load on the little banner area at the bottom of your webcam window. It has happend to me before, if you wait a while youll see that it shows ads sometimes and sometimes just the url where the ad should be
