    Yahoo offers the use of Anti-Spy and Anti-Virus for free through their toolbar. I'm currently using Avast! for anti-virus with Adaware and Spybot for spyware. Can any of you tell me how Yahoo's programs compare? And do their programs work only with their browser or would they need to replace my other programs?

    I have seen Yahoo AntiSpy and personally I wouldn't use either. If your thinking of changing I personally recommend AVG AntiVirus, ZoneAlarm Firewall and Spy Sweeper. If you want all free then I recommend Spyware Blaster & Spyware Guard with AVG and ZoneAlarm. All are free and do a great job IMO.

    I used yahoo for a while but got rid of it after finding AVG. I'm currently trying out avast! to see which one I like better and I must say, I like both. Comparing yahoo to both AVG and avast, yahoo is a piece of junk.... end of story!
