Ad in Yahoo Mail contains a virus
The Advertisement titled 3 New Messages should be removed. I accidentally clicked on it and it contained a virus that froze the browser and locked my screen with a message to call a phone number that spoofed Microsoft Support and I needed to call them to get it "removed", classic phishing style. I ignored the warning it gave about restarting my computer and did it. I immediately ran my legitimate virus scanning software and nothing was found.
