Only if you believe Yahoo is staffed by people that work within normal
parameters. :-)
I mean, basing a virus warning on words, rather than /actually/
*testing* for a virus is doomed to failure. Sooner or later, false

Yahoo, like Google, are a law unto themselves. Both are to be avoided
if at all possible.
