THe link is to a screenshot, of a suspected trojan attempting to download to me, activated by clicking the post button of the forum.

It was NOT active on other news items, except THIS one, I posted articles prior, and post event without problems. It was a DIRECT event connected to the specific news item.

Posted for your interest, have notified yahoo, advised them as to my intent and the fact that I have made this exploit public on a photo posting site, and suggested that they discuss this inline exploit between points of conception and destination.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

I'm not sure what the full purpose of posting this here is. If there is an issue with a page on Yahoo, there is nothing we can do about it and you did the right thing telling them. Perhaps the problem has even been fixed already. That is assuming that the problem is not due to malware that is present on your PC. I had no problem with that Wal-Mart Shopping Prank..... page.

In addition, your picture only shows that the file had no file name extension and thus was an unknown file type. It did not say it was a trojan or any other form of malware. It was just a notification.
