This is not an insult, but is it at all possible participating in Yahoo or Yahoo Answers give you vi

I am talking about nasty ones like "Trojan Downloaders" and viruses that wipe out all your drivers?

I am asking this about Yahoo, the 360 sites and Yahoo sites (including Groups), not about miscellaneous Websites belonging to others that might have been recommended by some poster on Y!A. I am asking this because my husband says Yahoo!Answers is not safe since I got some terrible viruses. Generally I am really reluctant t go to Websites that I am not sure about.

If you click a hyperlink that someone has posted inside a question, it's possible.. Just clicking on a question to read it or to answer it won't give you a virus though.

I don't know of any. The only ones I have had to deal with lately were mailed to me and Yahoo caught those, warning me before I opened them.
Trojan Downloaders are that bad?? I have one on my computer right now, and it said it was low risk.
It has been safe for me. Try not to click on the ads if possible!
On Yahoo answers, no.. you aren't downloading anything
No.

Only if you click on the links some users provide with their questions i guess it could happen then

Oh and the ads. Don't click on those.
No. Yahoo! is on a secure connection, so other users can't connect to you, and Yahoo! just doesn't send you viruses. It is possible, however, that someone puts a link up to download a virus, but that's pretty much it.
