Yahoo does business with adclick. and yahoo allows adclick to set cookies on your pc. Everyone should run a program called adawre on their pc! Seeing that I use yahoo games etc..... I have my security settings set to ignore adclick script and so i never have any invisible scripts running on my pc. Adaware finds and cleans them and it is free. Found at download.com, adare finds what is invisible, and u can't find in a folder or Ctrl/alt/delete menu or anywhere on your pc. They are truely invisible and so all should run adaware free version and get rid of what they don't know is there. porn sites, and other sites use these tags to send back info on where u surf and your private info. Run adaware to clear your mind if anything. easy to install and use! great program!
I continue to use yahoo email cuz it is my junky email and just the one i use for online sites etc... And my personal email gets very little mail and no un known sender mail. If yahoo mail gets bombarded I will change the address. As of the last year I get about 12 emails a week, and 4 of them being junk but not in bulk folder. bulf folder I dont use. I simply delete them all once a week. But the point is here, my pc never downloads ANY attachments at all. And that is the beauty of it. I happen to value that enough to put up with deleting a few junk mails a week and a bulk folder. Small price to pay for staying 100 % protected, having nortons also. Yahoo will also scan with their nortons before downloading attachments if you simply click it. even if your nortons is not updated it always find a virus on unknown emails. I check some bulk ones just to cure my couriosity and they are usually virus.
