This problem unfortunately is not consistent, but happens enough that it is frustrating. Yahoo mail support simply states they can not reproduce it, and usually I cannot either.
When clicking on an email attachment in Yahoo Plus mail to download it, I get the download dialog box, click to open it w/Word (for example), the file downloads, Word opens, I exit back out and there is the big red X and anti-phishing message on the Yahoo mail tab. I can "visit site anyway" and then proceed with the rest of mail items. If I click on the exact same attachment again, it works fine.
The web address found to be bad is always: us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?..bunch.of.stuff.for.file.in.question.
System is XP Pro latest level; Norton 16.5.0.135 and all phishing updates completed; Firefox 3.0.8.
I do not see any way that I can log the us.mg4.mail.yahoo.com web site as "safe".
Any thoughts as to how I can make this problem go away?
Thanks.
