Yahoo answers hacked?
I tried answering a question and I got a popup stating my machine had some crazy virus that was stealing my contacts, credit card numbers blah blah and to call Microsoft Tech support with a number to dial. Obviously a scam.

Yahoo has gaps in it that allow scammers to pop up the messages you got.
Close your browser, clear your history and do not respond to the scammers.

I don't think the popup has anything to do with Yahoo Answers.
