AFAIK, the SBC Yahoo "online protection" only applies to e-mail. If you surf
to sites with hostile scripts, or download files with malware, you're not
protected. You need an antivirus, an anti-spyware, and preferably a better
firewall than the Windows built-in one. Meanwhile, you can scan your machine
online at the House Call site:
http://housecall.antivirus.com
You should also download and install the free anti-spyware scanners SpyBot
(
http://www.spybot.info) and Ad-Aware (
http://www.lavasoftusa.com), keep
them up-to-date, and use them regularly.
