    Hello Guys,

    I was opening Yahoo.com today evening 1:29pm Sunday (GMT). My avast anti virus giving the message "This site is affected by the virus".

    I'm wondering what is happening.

    anyone else experience experience like this.

    I think it may be the problem with my PC or anti-virus.

    No problems for me. Make sure you don't have any viruses, they may be hijacking your browser.

    You might have spyware on your computer and it's putting up a yield manager for Yahoo.

    It is not spyware on your computer. The problem is with yahoo site. I can go to other sites, i.e. MSN, with no problems. If you are not using avast, it will not be detected. I emailed yahoo, but they have not responded. You can block the cookie, but I think for yahoo to use such tactics is not good.

    Yeah, Kaspersky has been rated five stars by many websites. I've been using it since 2007 and I haven't had to worry about spyware on my computer.

    Yugo,

    I got this problem and Avast released a statement about this saying that it was a bug in the program, Yahoo is safe so no worries.

    Lawl it's AVAST being overprotective as usual. It see's an iframe and it hits to roof with it's "WARNING A VIRUS HAS BEEN DETECTED!!11111!!1111"

    you guys should really get ESET NOD32 it is really one of the best anti virus programs out there. And you will stop having all these issues you are having.

    That one is one of the worst antiviruses I have come to. On every computer that had that antivirus and then I would change into a new one i would find like a load of worms.

    This is strange, I just checked and nothing is popping up to me. Maybe there is a trend of computers affected?
