What happened to yahoo? i pay for this crap! do you?

spybot has yahoo listed on its list of BAD spyware sites!
i thought that strange, but now i see why.
If you go to your account and edit your details, as in what type of job u have, to something different each week like: astronaut, or nurse or electrition, what ALL the spam come flying in directed at those professions.
has anyone seen this too?

i change my info just to test yahoo and see if the spam was from them.
plus i do know of the settings regarding this, thank you though.
Yahoo is just loosing favor with me, quickly!

Won't pay. Won't get mail plus for the spam. I am tired of beta screwing up the rest of this site. Try myway.com They have a block for domain type mail. Like @aol etc. You could bust geocities etc out. Let me know if you find another good one. I am going to change soon. K.

Nope, haven't had that specific problem. However, I did start receiving a lot of spam when I answered a so-called "survey." Watch out about those, and contests, etc.

1) Why would you want to change your profession each week???

2) Did you check some kind of check-box to receive "info" about your profession? Careful! some sites require you to "opt out" instead of "opting in" to special offers.

If you are getting a lot of spam, there's not much you can do about it now, except to flag it as spam, then it will go to your Bulk folder. From there, Yahoo! will automatically delete it when it is 30 days old. It doesn't count against the 1 GB of storage Yahoo! allows you. (If you want, you can go through and delete spam from your Bulk folder before it reaches 30 days, or just allow it to be automatically deleted after 30 days.)
