Has this exploit been confirmed on all browsers, or is only Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerable? Do tell...

I never click on those links anyway. Just tells them they have an active email account. Thanks for the warning. I have a yahoo account I use.

Aha!. That is why my yahoo e-mail sucks and my hard drive was acting funky. Do you know a way out of this mess?

Yet another reason to not use Outlook, IE, or Windows. This isn't affecting any Yahoo users on Macs or Linux boxes...

SpamGuard has been improved just today, by my reckoning. You can report as message as spam and delete it with one click. I have been doing so. ZAPZAPZAP!!!

Death to Spam!

Thanks for the information. I was wondering why I have had so many more spam messages making their way into my Yahoo mail box lately. I never open mail I don't recognize and just trash it, but I took a look at what was in my trash folder and was surprised at how many seem to fit exactly the pattern you discribed.

I pasted the long URL into Mac OS X Safari, and it brought up a normal web page for an insurance company. There were crashes or anything to indicate it was anything malicious or intended to hack into a computer.

I never open anything from anyone I don't know.
