You Yahoo? Might be a good idea to read below

When using Yahoo please use the same precautions that are involved in handling a rattlesnake. A rabid, psychotic rattlesnake. First of the year the beach house was going to stop using Yahoo instant messenger, but that has not happened. It will. Just don't want to be associated with a company that uses spyware, adware, malware, dungware, thiefware, or whatever you want to call it. For those that choose to ignore this please don't show up in July for the shuttle launch because your type of 'rocketscience' is not needed.

Yahoo is bad. They are sneaks. Now they have some funky music service. Hell, I'd rather you use iTunes. Yes, that's right, I said it. Here's a link to some hiphop talking hep cat dude that worked on the Yahoo music thangy project -> ian c. rogers. This guy led the team that created this service? No thanks. Is anyone using Yahoo as a home page beginning to have doubts?

Check out PCPitStop for information about Yahoo and their blatant use of Claria dungware. Take a look at NewsTarget for further insight concerning this relationship. Think this is a new issue? View Mike Healan's article dated June 2, 2004, over at Spywareinfo. He has a link to the Security and Exchange Commission report on this company. Claria, aka Gator, SearchScout, Weatherbug, Weatherscope, etc., brags 31% percent of their profits comes from Yahoo.

Disgusted about these people forcing crap on you without your permission? Why don't you write one of the sleazeball baboons that make this sh--!? Here is where one "contacts" Claria -> We would love to hear from you. ROFLMAO!!!! Right! Probably so they can drop some type of heebyjeeby malware on your PC through the email. They are trying to convince the public that they are not evil. You know, that's an old Satan ploy. If you hide a disclaimer clause written with a dot 1 pitch font in some EULA and proceed to load up a PC with garbage that no one wants, that's extremely cyber evil.

After spending hours researching this post it has been decided that Yahoo Messenger is going, today. I'll switch to the horrible Microsoft Instant Messenger if necessary. So, please consider this information and do your own research. Get away from these horrible dregs and stop being an victim of things Yahoo.
EDIT: Yahoo is gone and GAIM has taken it's place. It imports files from several different IM services (Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft, etc.) and is part of the opensource family. Red Dragon! Thank you for a great heads up!
