Has anyone else experienced infections of viruses or maleware from YahooAnswers?
Three times in the past week, when I've clicked on a question to answer, my computer has been attacked by a trojan! I was under the impression that Y!A was a safe site. Evidently I was wrong!

The programming on here tries to be as safeguarded as possible. However, I think there is an advertisement here that has a trojan embedded in it. I just got one blocked as well (a redirect trojan). Ads are hard for the staff to monitor, but if we report it, maybe they can find which one it is and get rid of it.
There is a FEEDBACK link at the bottom of the pag -- click that and report it. That's what I did.

Common sense never click on links in YA especially ones from new users who posted the same link in multiple posts!

Yes that happen to me yesterday and I don't know about computers. I was so scared I shut my computer down and turned it back on to scan for everything.
