Why does my yahoo page have a yellow bar at the top?

Question

it says something like: proceed with caution this may be a scam. and i'm like what? this is my mailbox! why would it have that?

Answer 1

It's a warning from your WINDOWS XP SP2 that Y! uses ActiveX controls and that you need to adjust your settings. Just ignore it and click on the x at the far right to get rid of it.

Answer 2

just a warning...yahoo see's it as a possible scam and is letting you know.
