  1. Don't advertise virus infected ads

    My Yahoo mail is showing an Ad indicating it is coming from McAfee.com that says "Payment has failed". It is an obvious scam intending to infect my computer. Use AI to come up with better software to prevent obvious scams from coming into a users InBox.

  5. Manage and remove offensive ads of a sexual nature

    You should be able to identify and remove inappropriate ads of a sexual nature. I have an ad that appears at the top of my inbox that is clearly inappropriate. I of course don't want to open it and I can't mark it as spam because it is an ad. This is offensive enough for me to consider closing my account. These ads periodically appear and disappear.

  6. Ad preferences

    I am from Ukraine and I see the ad for russiantv in my email box, which is absurd and offensive for me, as russians kill my nation for over 10 years.

  9. Stop sending sex websites! YOU DISGUST ME AND ALL WOMEN!!!

    You sent me an ad today from "Asian Feels" which showed pictures of young, nubile Asian women. STOP SEXUALIZING WOMEN. We choose whom we are willing to share our sexual selves with, NOT YOUI!

    Making our bodies a PRODUCT TO BE SOLD is filthy and domineering. GET YOUR HANDS OFF OUR BODIES!!!

    I'm going to publish this everywhere on my social media. I DESPISE YOU. Because of this I AM NOW GOING TO GET RID OF MY HANDFUL OF YAHOO MAIL ACCOUNTS.

  13. expense not anticipated

    Very disappointed in finding out that there are now many ads showing up in our Yahoo emails. We have the comcast email address and were told we had to switch to Yahoo. This was not an easy task for an 80 year old but when done we get your notice of the ads and that we would have to pay $4.99 per month to cancel ads. I/we feel that is totally not a customer friendly way to force people to deal with the required switch. We are on fixed income, do not need the additional benefits offered. If we could…

  14. accidently opened AD at top of emails causing my PC to lockup due to a security alert

    not an idea, but an observation and suggestion. Please screen the AD's that are posted above the emails, to make sure that they are safe to open, because i accidently opened an AD and it triggered a very loud and noisy SECURTIY ALERT or something, and locked up my PC, with a voice that instructed me to NOT shut off my PC and to call a phone number, but i shut off my PC anyway, for i believed the AD was some type of SCAM, and i was eventually able to restart my PC with a little effort and stress…

  15. Remove phishing attempt ad

    In the inbox there is an ad with a title like "3 New Messages" that when clicked pops up a threatening message and noises, attempting to scare people into believing their system is locked and they must pay to unlock.
    Please remove and verify your ad sources!

  17. warning you allowed a virus

    I clicked on an ad saying I had 3 messages in my inbox and it took over my screen with a siren and a warning to call some 888 number! Luckily it didnt lock out my keyboard and allowed me to ctrl alt delete. How in the world did you accept an ad without vetting the source ad legitimate. what if it actually caused harm to my PC or others? Sloppy and poor work by Yahoo. We deserve better.

  18. Provide a preference setting for no video advertisements

    I have an old Windows 10 computer with limited memory. The video ads that are displayed while using the new Yahoo mail slow my computer to the point where it says that the web page is not responding. Please provide a way such as through a preference setting to indicate that no video ads are to be displayed. Regular (non-video) ads are perfectly fine.

  20. don't post scam ads

    Vet the companies you present ads for in your email client. I keep seeing one for https://www.williamleigh.com, which is clearly a scam- look into it- they are falsely presenting themselves as an established high end clothier going out of business after 55 years, yet there is no record of such. My trust in Yahoo goes way down when I see you present this kind of trap.
