Are you sure that the virus was in the photograph (file with extension .tif,
.jpg, .gif, etc.) and not a disguised or camouflaged URL with extension of
.com or .exe ??

Dear SueW:
As amazing as it sounds there are many viruses transmitted through simple
photographs. I remember back a few years ago I tried to delete a photograph
I didn't much care for and hit Enter instead. Whoa Howdy man, my PC picked
up AIDS. I Had to completely erase, delete, double check and finally
reinstall the stuff I had built before I SNAFU'd. It was one of those Life
lessons one does not want to repeat. But back to your query about "Yahoo
Policy" and treatment of its client base goes, I believe it is harsh
ill-treatment just to blow any one off without first 'splain'in what's
involved. So back to the question: Yes, there can be virisius in
photographs. But trusting any ole who these days to be on the up and up is
risky at best and foolish at its worse.
There's not a lot of honesty on the Net. Information gathering is great but
personal inquiries can be danger filled excersices in futility.
Love-Sincerly Yours,
Raven in California
