Default Yahoo Virus?
I use Yahoo as my homepage. Tonight my virus scanner (Avast) picks it up as a virus and won't let me load it. Same when I just type in Yahoo.com. What's the deal? Is it just a mistake?

It's trying to tell you to stop using Yahoo and start using Google.

In all honesty though, I have no idea.

Ok, good. At least my anti-virus is working, albeit a little too well.

Manually update and it should solve the problem. The latest update 080623 solves the yahoo problem.
