    Ok I have a general question regarding the Yahoo! Browser.
    First a little background... ;)
    When we got DSL it is by our phone company SBC and it is called SBC Yahoo! DSL so naturally it installed a Yahoo! Browser. I have parental controls on Computer #2 for the kids which means you MUST sign into your SBC Yahoo! Account via the Yahoo! Browser if you want to access the net at all.
    I really like and use Firefox one my computer (#1) and also under my name on Computer #2 but as for the kids I use Yahoo! Browser so they don't have to log into one then open up another one as at 8 years old it can be confusing.
    So, now my question is this how safe is Yahoo! Browser to keep from getting spyware etc like you get with IE??

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Thanks I will check into that much appreciated on the reply and I am not sure if it is stand alone or if it is an overlay for Internet Explorer. It installed directly from the SBC DSL Installation CD if that means anything.
    When I click help and about Browser it says
