There is a virus going through Yahoo email.
From our Network Admins:

To All ******* Colleagues:



What is happening?



Yahoo! Mail users are getting infected with the W32.Feebs virus. Our Symantec software is catching the virus.



Actions being taken

Enterprise IT has set our proxy servers to block internet traffic to *.mail.yahoo.com. This will prohibit the ability to login to Yahoo! Mail. When this issue is resolved, we will again allow connections to *.mail.yahoo.com.


How does this impact me?

Yahoo! Mail access will not be available. Browsing the internet is still possible. We will update you on this issue.

I have a number of clients from my side businesses (http://www.island-images.com and http://www.123island.com) that use Yahoo! mail and have been calling me all morning.

There is/was definitely a problem with Yahoo! mail over the weekend and into today.

UPDATE: A Yahoo! mail w32.Feebs virus issue began 2 weeks ago and seems to be related to Yahoo! mail beta and Norton antivirus. Users who switched back to Yahoo! mail and away from the beta version reported that the problems went away.
