I'd suggest you do a full antiviral and antispyware scan.

i think it may have come from a link to a pacman game advertised on my yahoo mail actually, sushi something my antivirus avg blocked a virus from this and i noticed one of the dodgy green links took me to this site.
ive put in a complaint to yahoo, id normally trust stuff i found on here

hah tracked it down, i no longer see irritating green hyperlinks.  :)
it did indeed come from playsushi.com as advertised on the yahoo mail homepage, i suggest not visiting this site no matter what nostalgic urges u get to play pacman.
stronger complaint about to be sent to yahoo  :spank:
