if you don't know who it is sending you the im/emails don't be curious and answer or open them delete them or click on ignore.you can also run a virus scan on them before you answer or open them.my suggestion is to just delete unfamilier im/emails. good luck.   pete

Its fine.  If the security certificate was issued to yahoo.com and you go to yahoo.co.uk, it'll give the the message since the site name isn't EXACTLY what is says on the certificate.

I believe they are in the process of trying out a new format. Their homepage changed on mine browser also at home. Although at work I still have the same browser as before. I don't think a virus could cause something like that to happen.

I can't go there as I'm not sure it isn't one of those sites with a virus attached, so I can't answer your question.  But, please, I need points, can you pick me and give me ten, kind rev?

There is no way that this could be taught in a yahoo answer forum. Secondly, there is no good thing you could do with a virus you created, so even if it could be explained in such a forum, it would be grave misdeed to do so.

you can tell your anti virus provider, yahoo´s webmaster or customer service guys

usualy these kind of sites are loaded with x-rated advertising, spyware and key loggers.\n\nif you need to go there for a serial or crack then i suggest doing it from home (not work) and make sure you have a fire wall, pop-up blocker and the latest anti-virus definitions updated first!

I wouldn't bother visiting the site, it might install unwanted software and you'll be worse off than you are now.

First of all, make sure the warning about the virus is true and not a hoax. www.snopes.com \n\nDo not forward the message. \n\nCreate a new message and copy and paiste the info and send.

Some sites just  looking have embedded trojans in them.  If you have good antivirus program, the embedded trojans or virus would be detected and destroyed in real time.  If you don't, I suggest that you run the antivirus program you have with a full scan and see if you come up clean.  \n\nGood luck, hope you come up clean.\n\nMinddoctor, France

You cant get any virus unless they have you accept a file or you click on one of their links. In other words, dont click on any link you are not sure of and dont accept anything they send you. As well, dont tell them what pages you visited or your IP adress as they can easily hack you. Otherwise, you are safe just chatting.
