Obviously you have enough complaints that you should be aware of the problem. I have stopped using your search engine at work due to this problem.

this is coming from ads on the yahoo home page. these ads redirect the users and leave them stuck in a page that locks the browser in full screen !! THIS IS DANGEROUS AND YOU ARE LIABLE ! they attack me on YOUR website from ads that YOU post!!!
ad blockers dont work! nothing i have tried works , antivirus , antimalware , i am a computer IT and i have had enough of this ! yahoo needs to deal with this or we will go to court , it takes hours to repair my computer when it gets cluttered with this malware from ads on YOUR HOME PAGE !!! YOU WILL BE HELD LIABLE AND SUED IF THIS DOES NOT STOP!! the ads are all registered through namecheap! -

the homepage has malicious web attacks , click on an article, get something else, usually a warning to download or update software, and when you try to leave or close the page, you get a pop up that won't be closed and keeps you from closing the window or going to another page! My Norton Security has blocked several web attacks from the yahoo page. Don't use Yahoo homepage! UNSAFE!!!

Yahoo homepage is now full of web attacks , when you click on an article, you may find yourself routed to a fake page wanting you to update software or download something and when you try to leave there is a pop up warning that you cannot close. Norton security has blocked several more attacks and now I stay away from Yahoo !

Why do you let people hack your site all I ever get is a security page poping up that takes over the whole page when exploring your pages. this only happens on your site.

How are you allowing articles with viruses attached to them on your Yahoo homepage? Suddenly my computer is scrolling through several websites and my computer posts a large error message notifying me of an issue with a backdoor virus.

Twice today, once on Edge and the other on IE, I clicked on a news article to open it in a separate tab. Both times, the tab opened. The article never appeared but I did get one of those alerts that I had been hacked and they were downloading my information.
I was able to get out of it both of these times. However the same thing has occurred in the past and killed two different computers. It is a real pain. This does not seem to happen when I use other providers. I really do not want to stop using Yahoo but this is getting to be very bothersome and expensive. Please, can you do something to stopthis.

This happens all the time when i visit the page. I don't even have to click on anything it just automatically redirects to the malware. All Yahoo! has to offer is a link to a page that say it works with various browsers. Seems almost negligent on Yahoo!'s behalf!

Your forcing me to click multiple times just to get to my article is bogus, Then when I do it is for premium sites?????? Is there 1 functional brain in the ENTIRE Yahoo marketing staff???? If you think ******* me and others off is a good marketing idea, WOW. Please pull your heads out of your ***** and look at your homepage from a users perspective.
