Is this new Yahoo Profile update a virus?

No, it's not a virus and I actually have the same question as you regarding where the activity is. I'm a big hockey fan and visit and comment on the Yahoo NHL page frequently. The only information I can find is in the Activity Sharing settings that states "You can see your shared updates on Yahoo! Messenger for Windows" but it doesn't specify which shared updates they're referring to. There are very few options to choose from in the "Settings" section so it's not difficult to tell if you're sharing your profile or not. I also installed Yahoo! Messenger but still can't see any of my activity.

I know this doesn't really answer your question other than to tell you it's not a virus, but at least you now know you're not the only one seeing the same thing. Perhaps this will change on December 1st when we're all forced to move to the new profile setup but there is an option in Activity Sharing to go back to Yahoo! Pulse until then.

you do not have an endemic on your profile web page. The very last answer substances one chance on your difficulty. yet another is the chance that your computer has a malicious report in it already that, once you log onto yahoo, it accesses the portal from which your computer has opened to get entry to the web website and your anti-virus p.c.. up in this and sees it as a danger. Why your software stated that the issue change into resolved and then it exceeded off again, i do not recognize for positive why. The malicious report might want to likely be a trojan, redirect attempt, undercover agent ware, or different executable report that is attempting to positioned your equipment in damage's way. My suitable suggestion might want to be to attempt a clean licensed anti-virus software or kit that includes anti-undercover agent ware and different safe practices courses. in no way use internet web content that declare to study your computer and/or restore complications except you're literally positive that the website is valid and danger-free. lots of those web content (actual maximum) purely upload extra complications on your computer.
