    Whenever I try to log in to my Yahoo ID, I go into a loop... Have I been blocked or malware?

    I guess your internet browser is blocking cookies from yahoo.

    I use Yahoo sometimes, what do you mean you go in a loop? It won't log you in at all? Or it keeps asking you to sign in over and over again?

    Hi nadira,

    Unblocking the cookies enabled me to access my disposable ads. However, I can't delete nor reply to any mail... what happened?

    You need javascript for Yahoo mail also.

    Here's a topic you may want to read regarding just what exactly you entered as trusted in your browser to make that email work.

    https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?p=268354

    yahoo.com is very large and covers a whole lot of content you may not want to trust besides email. Did you enter only the email site itself, or all of yahoo.com into the trusted zone?

    Here is an example of cookies I have in Firefox relating to Yahoo.

    2 allowed to log in to Yahoo mail and how LWM was explaining the name differences and 1 blocking all the rest of yahoo's domains [group].

    Cheers, TAS

    Unfortunately, all of Yahoo although I have really been very suspicious of the website since Spybot has intercepted quite a lot of bad cookies sprayed along the way. I'm removing yahoo.com and enabling just login and mail.

    Thanks guys!
