Yes, my Yahoo account is finding virus's like
crazy.
Some even pretend to be from Yahoo.
They are all some variation of the W32xxxx viri.
I'm getting nearly 100 attempts a day now, but
thanks to Yahoo's program and mt Norton Internet
Security program, none have made it.
I think the penalty for knowingly sending viruses
and spam should be death!!!
