Yes, I have got these threats on Yahoo, but usually when I accidentally
release my finger over an advertisement or link to article. I am currently using my mouse pad which makes this more likely.
I will probably go back to using the normal mouse.
However, you could also already by infected by a virus which is periodically bringing up pop-ups.
So it is usually paid Ads accepted by Yahoo that causes this.
Yahoo apparently does not always screen the groups that it sells advertising space to.
