Yahoo might wish to follow this advice, which may help to cut down on spam:
go to yahoo`s main home page and scroll to the very bottom (very
bottom see VERY SMALL link called "privacy policy" click on it, on
that web page look on left for "marketing preferences" and click
Surprise!!: there is a BIG list of things with a "yes and no"
checkspace and Yahoo checked yes to all of them for you, so just
check NO to all of them you don't want and click save.
remember this order:
1. privacy policy( bottom main page)
2.marketing policy ( left side of page)
3.select "NO" to all of them or pay the price if you don`t .

I picked up a virus on my machine this morning, Surprisingly after many years of computing this is the first time I've ever had one on a PC - used to get loads on the Acorns when I was teaching.
It was one of the BADTRANS worms. It hadn't made it out of my e-mail prog - looks like the precaution of using an obscure one paid off. I failed to find the exact e-mail it had come in on. The vast majority of me e-mail is mepbm related, so I thought I'd better just remind all you chaps to take precautions.
I used the free online virus scanner at: http://housecall.antivirus.com/pc_housecall/ (I've no connection or commercial interest in them)
