Yahoo being flagged as phishing site?
« on: June 03, 2015, 09:50:09 PM »
For the last few days when I go to yahoo, I'll get a warning from Avast saying its flagged as phishing-I've just closed out of my browser and gone back in.  I'll get on yahoo for a bit and I'll get the message again-any ideas of whether the message is legitimate?

Could be there is a link to a malicious website or your system is infected.
