    I believe Yahoo's website may be getting hacked. Specifically the webmail page. A few weeks ago I started getting a page redirect when clicking off of the yahoo mail page to any other open browser. Got audio sound telling of potential virus and "call windows support" at a 866-897-2718. Then the issue went away. Today it came back. Specifically when surfing the news on the yahoo home page.
    The issue only seems to occur when a Yahoo page is active.

    Is this an issue with Yahoo pages or is my browser infected?

    Thanks MG!

    The pop up page url is 138.197.2.225/asr4/?a=10012592&camid=46

    I don't have an image hosting account to post a pic of the screenshot...

    It's Yahoo. And yes, it is a scam.

    Thanks Tim, yeah I know it's a scam. Was just wondering if I needed to clean my PC.
    Or, at least clean my browser other than deleting cookies and history?

    Which browser? And does it happen in all browsers?

    Chrome, only one I've been using.
    Meant to say browser pages not separate browsers.
