Yahoo mail accounts are the problem - probably best to avoid using for now

[Guest guest]

If you check out the Washington Post article that Pogue passed

along, you'll see that the virus at issue is directly related to using

Yahoo mail. Apparently simply opening the mail in your browser is enough

to cause the virus to spread, attachments or no attachments. Solution?

For now, use a non-Yahoo account for both posting and reading posts.

The security loophole is huge here, so I don't know how quickly Yahoo

will be able to respond or when Yahoo mail will really be safe again.

And G-mail and others are the likely next targets.
