When I open my email message, an advertisement at the top of my web page enlarges and covers part of my emails?

Is this a yahoo advertisement or have I gotten a spyware?

It may very well be a Yahoo advertisement, during the past couple of days I’ve seen quite a few users complaining about ads from a certain coffee brand displayed on their mail pages. I’m afraid Yahoo won’t do very much about it since those companies are paying to get their ads displayed, but you can get rid of most of those ads, here’s how:

download and install the latest Firefox browser:

Also install “adblock plus”:

Result: no more annoying ads! And pages are loading much quicker too…:-)
- this adblocker for the IE (and other browsers) gets highly recommended in several forums.
- for Safari Mac - another solution for Safari 4 Win and Mac.

I personally have the Firefox installed and don’t even see anymore ads on the YA pages…:-)
