not on mine.... i dont think that is even possible but it has never caused a problem in any of my computers.... its probably something else.... or its just your computer.....try scanning your computer with an anti virus or anti spywear program.. and then defragment your hard drive...... but dont worry.. Y!A is not the problem..

No, but clicking on certain links can bring up spyware or tracking cookies for me.

Just get a good spyware program, run it weekly, and you should be fine.

Well Erin.

Funny you should mention that.

Because one of the dog regulars found a user that had a link on one of his questions and when you open the link it sends out a virus on your computer!

So, I dont know if thats what it is.

But, beware!!!!

This is the Q that was talking about it.

Nope...that wouldn't happen....People around the world use yahoo icluding the people who made it. They wouldn't want to use something that gave their computer a virus.

As Pom said, there has been a virus going around. I think with there being so many glitches as well it makes it worse, mine has been running slow lately too!

That's not possible. Yahoo! won't ever do that, or they'll be in HUGE trouble. How old is your computer, that it crashes, when you're on Y! A?

impossible, they would get in trouble, your sister is lying to you, she probably downloads stuff and that's how you get the viruses
