It's probably advertising, not malware


In all likelihood this is not malware on your machine, or on Yahoo's servers. It's an advertisement that is forcing a redirect to another website.

It is up to Yahoo to clean that up, but often ads get served from 3rd party ad services who then sell blocks to other ad services....and it becomes hard to trace where the bad actor came from.

Just don't click that crap.
