Another live virus just detected by my software, in Yahoo! Answers-Politics. Anyone else having this happen?

The general tenor of the answers I read here confirm what I think also, be careful of the links to the questions because some sites not mainstream have hackers lingering there trying to pass viruses. I had a virus attack yesterday that was associated to a link to a question.

Tighten up your firewall banker. Libs are loading in virus on negative responses

to BHO.

NEVER open links in Yahoo answers.. Many times they are infected with virus's .. Learned that a long time ago..

I think I got a virus from answers a few weeks ago too. It was so bad that I had to reformat the computer. Be careful about whose links you click on.

Yes just started up in the last few weeks I think it's the brit mods on the U K site

Yes, I get virus blocked as soon as I open certain questions.

The anti-virus program is getting smarter, now it blocks that stupid pop-up that warns your anti-virus is out of date and you should click OK to get new anti-virus updates.

That was the most annoying one.

yahoo was taken to court on the issue of advertising fees paid (per click),fine multi million

dollars collected in reduced fees @ click.the companies charged that y!a imparted spam.phishing

and viruses along with ad content,advertisers complained,the judge found against,yahoo.

Its possible you picked up the virus elsewhere,landing it in your y e mail address,and spread it yourself from there

Yahoo Answers running mighty slow kind of wierd

I don't get the virus, but I do get erratic behavior and browser crashes as my system blocks whatever it is that is trying to get in.
