    A tutorial in what to be wary of!!

    This should be sent out to all one's family and friends (not only those that have Yahoo as it also applies to many other advertisements found all over the web).

    Thanks for posting this, Ron. I am a bit shocked that Yahoo's Right Media is involved with so many of these deceptive ads. The worst of the worst are the ones that show an animation "scan" and then "Warning - infected files found!"

    Thanks again for this...good find.
