Very true.
Yahoo is currently banned on many email blacklist servers because of the
abuse Spammers make of it. So many posts from people using yahoo email 
addresses just go into my spam bin at the moment.
But then if people will use free email addresses....oh hum.

I've used this before and it's pretty good as is 'SpywareBlaster' for 
stopping Windows users from getting infected in the first place.
Just google it, it is one word...

Or use Microsoft's free 'Security Essentials' software from its own web 
site if you run Windows.

But honestly, all you need to do these days is not use Microsoft's 
Internet Explorer/Outlook/Express software and then not to click on 
links in emails. :)
