has any one experienced any problems accessing www.yahoo.com? All the
images in the website appear to be replaced with yellow box with the
words click here now written on them.
I ran symantec anti virus system scan, checked firewall logs, check
event viewer logs things look ok there.
Is my network compromised.
All other sites are working fine. Was able to access yahoo from public
computer and it looks ok.
Any tips suggestions. Email and internet are working fine.

From what I understand, this problem is not security related. More so, it is
related with your web browser and/or Yahoo itself. I have been experiecing
some problems with Yahoo such as slowness, errors, etc. Just check back
later and see if the problem persists. If they continue, the problem might
reside in your Java version. Make sure you are using Java 5 Runtime
Enviroment Update 6.

Hmm... A quick trip to www.yahoo.com and a source check shows nothing there
with an alternate property for the img reference that says "click here"
anywhere on the page.

Does the rest of the page look normal? How about in an alternate browser? Is
there an entry for Yahoo! in your hosts file?
