Does YAHOO have virus detection?

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.

Yes. If you're sending a message from your PC to Yahoo! , anyone who controls the network from your PC to Yahoo, or Yahoo to their PC when the message is read can capture the packets sent and read them.\n\nIf you're sending something that needs to be secure, encrypt it with PGP or GPG before it leaves your PC.

&#9689; Read this page to get info on the "New Graphics Site" virus. This virus seems to only targeting Yahoo Email Users.\n\n&#9658; http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/newgraphic.asp

When you use the Yahoo e-mail, message attachments are scanned.  But this does not necessarilly protect your computer.  You MUST have anti-virus.  \n\nYou can get the free AVG Anti-virus.  Visit http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

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.

You did not get a virus from the yahoo tracking cookies. However to delete all cookies in Internet Explorer click on tools, then internet options.\n\nYou can click delete cookies, and it is probably not a bad idea to click delete files as well. \n\nYou can do a free online virus scan at\nhttp://www.pandasoftware.com/\n\nOr you can download Ad-Aware for free which will not check for virus but will check to see if you have spyware on your computer. http://www.lavasoft.com/

Not unless you installed something.\nYou could for example do that with a local proxy server.\nBut if you just want to check. No there's no such log.\nIf you think it's full of spyware and viruses run a virus\nand spyware checker.

Yahoo no longer supports java which causes errors when downloading applets for playing games or entering yahoo chat...\nbut would not cause errors when opening yahoo mail.

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.

Fortunately or unfortunately, yahoo has stayed out of the net security business. \n\nIf your looking for a free (for non-business use) antivirus I suggest AVG Free. If your looking for free spyware/adware removal I suggest Ad-aware and Spybot. Sysgate has a personal firewall that's free for personal (non business use). All of these are solid products, check them out.

You need something better than yahoo anti spy.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

I’ll recommend updating your antivirus program. Also install the yahoo toolbar it has a perfect Anti-Spy program. Also check your firewall (in configuration) and allow yahoo to make connection with the internet. Install http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ (free) I am sure this will help ;~)

I have heard about this worm, i think yahoo was supposed to put out a fix for it. I recommend going and getting a free anti virus check. Just put free anti virus scan in your search bar.
