I have current virus scans on both my work & home computer where I check and use my yahoo mail often. Please help?

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who finds that everything related to Yahoo is running slow in the past week or so. I have broadband and Windows XP Prof. For sure I don't use Nortons or Mcafee as they are junk.
I use Avast an until this past week I have had quick response. Now I notice that Yahoo has slowed down. I even removed their security device, at the bottom of your tray when you are in IE, there is a white squire box with a round yellow ball an "!", Closed the phishing device as I don't shop or bank on line, so I don't need Yahoo to scan each webpage before it opens to see if the page is rogue. Made some difference in speed, still slow in my opinion.
Must be Yahoo Servers, as I can think of nothing else.

I dont know if it is Yahoo or me as well. I have noticed that Yahoo mail has been a lot slower for me lately too. This is on the multiple computer I use in my home/office. It could be an issue with Yahoo.

Oh gosh, I don't know. The only thing I can think of of go to Windows Start, Accessories, System Tool, Disk Cleanup. Also, in Explorer to to Tools, Internet Options, Delete Cookies, Delete Files. Also, clean house on some of your old, unwanted E-Mails. Good luck.
