I am in the process of replacing this computer with a linux machine. However Yahoo won't let me sign in from the linux box even though the IP address is the same. It also locked me out of my regular windows login for several hours about two days after I tried to log in with linux. Yahoo also failed to send me a confirmation email to my back up address. How about being a little less rigourous with the security. I have a hotmail and a gmail account and I was able to log in to those with linux no problem.
