Just minutes ago, I was viewing the multi-photos related to the Cleveland school shooting news story. Out of nowhere, my anti-virus kicked in, and alerted me with this message: "Sign of "VBS:LoveLetter" has been found in http..://news.yahoo.com/photos/sm/events/us/101007clevelandshoot/p:25...etc., etc., etc." (I modified the web address on purpose: don't try to surf there, unless you want to run the risk of getting a virus).
Fortunately, the anti-virus program prevented my system from downloading the virus.
I was already beginning to hate Yahoo, because of all the celebrity news headlines on its homepage, but now I have solid reason to avoid the website entirely.
