are yahoo image results safe?

By that i mean the thumbnails displayed on the results page. I ask because i am constantly using Yahoo images to find images to you for blog posts and am paranoid about viruses so i want to know if it is possible to get one simply from viewing the thumbnails but not clicking on the images. ( i hope that made sense.)

    You can not get a virus by viewing the thumbnails. Yahoo protects you from that. In 99.99% of all cases you can't get a virus by clicking on the thumbnail. You just get an enlarged photo but no information gets downloaded to your computer.
