    Use the snipping tool and take a screenshot of the threat warning so we can see if this is from Avast, Yahoo, or malware on your computer.

    Relax, your avast! just saved you from a virus.

    Delete the problem email. It has an image linked to a site that is triggering the warning.

    Here is a link on disabling images in Yahoo Mail: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/block-images-displaying-emails-sln5043.html
