Best way to report a person that is trying to spread a virus through Answers

If you see Kellery C answer any questions with a Link do not click on it, it is a virus that the person is trying to spread.

What do you think the best way to report a person who does something like this is? Should Yahoo have a way to just report a user as a spammer or virus spreader that is easier to use than just going from question to question and reporting the same person?

    There's a bunch of those today, with a whole slew of account names.

    Click on the "Illegal" option and write in the explanation box the words "link to virus" for YA's fastest attention.

    i have suggested a similar aspect, and it really is been cropping up further and further. each and each and every time I see between the links I always mark the question down because it really is totally suspicious. I did a similar as you and tried checking the link out, yet my anti-secret agent ware went on alert and instructed me my computer grow to be blockading a plague. some absolutely everyone is purely down proper stupid examples of people. Whoever tries to make someone's' computer pass a-wall by using planting viruses is a finished lowlife. yet, people will be people, and therefor their minds deliver jointly absurd behaviors that classifies them as immature wankers. it really is an excellent international we stay in, isn't it? with slightly of success, Yahoo will seize wind of this quickly. contained in the recommend time, perhaps we'd want to always all try reporting the solutions which have the suspicious link. that could want to deliver it to Yahoo's interest. xLana

    i think Y!A should put in their little intro thing a warning to not click on unclean links. like, you should be able to see what the website is and have it be relevant to your question.

    but i agree with the one above me - "illegal" - linking to virus.
