text: are we yahoo members getting safe links, when we ask questions? i found out  !!i was infected with adwares after downloading one of the [  answers with link ] at yahoo . i thought it could solve the question i was asking . my question is when i'm logged to yahoo's q+a  as a  yahoos member , are these links given by other members[answers]  safe to down load ????????. or some are poisonous. not skanned by yahoo. any way i got rid of these adware !! thank  for firefox explorer links here are as safe (or unsafe) as links anywhere else.  y!a doesn't screen them for viruses, adware, etc.  my advice to you is to not click on any links provided in a y!a question or answer.  that's my policy.
