    Hi

    I'm also getting the same warning. I have Kaspersky anti-virus V8 installed. Strangely it's only happening with the new improved welcome page.

    Very occasionally yesterday yahoo mail flicked back to the old welcome page and Kaspersky showed no threat on the old page.

    I have other emails open but only Yahoo is showing as infected.

    I have just run a full Kaspersky scan on my young son's computer. He also uses Yahoo mail. He had a trojan on his machine which is exactly the same trojan as the warnings that I've been getting on my computer. Is this just a co-incidence?

    Yep, I got exactley the same here. Yahoo in combination with Kaspersky 2010.

    I tried another PC with Symantec on it and there seemed no problem with Yahoo.

    But I cannot tell you if there IS a problem with Yahoo or not..
