When you use the Yahoo e-mail, message attachments are scanned. But this does not necessarilly protect your computer. You MUST have anti-virus.
You can get the free AVG Anti-virus. Visit http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1
Good luck and Happy Computing!

Yes, Yahoo does offer Free Anti-virus but only to Yahoo! Plus members. Unfortunately, Yahoo! Plus is discontinued for the public. Only SBC and Verizon customers can have Yahoo! Plus. You aren't missing much. CA software sucks anyways.
Avast! Antivirus is a good antivirus.
AVG Free is also pretty good.

Yahoo offers Norton antispy but its only free for like 30 days, then you have to pay for it.
These are the ones I use.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
AVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
