I'm using a PC.
I'm reading / launching yahoo email on my PC.
'Yahoo Mail for Mobile' is a menu choice in the left-hand pane, and sometimes it 'activates', although I forget exactly what the message was.
Anyhow, I have no reason for it to activate and I'd like to silence it.
Is there a way I can disable the 'Yahoo Mail for Mobile' feature in yahoo email so that it doesn't run and so that it doesn't give me pop-up ads?
Thanks for any tips.
popowich, I already had/have ad block plus installed and enabled. The 'unexpected' web page that shows up in the right-hand pane is one of my Favorites.

Over the past 24 hours or so, I have noticed that some of my outgoing yahoo email is not getting delivered.
It appears that the problem may be specific to some destination domain(s), although the problematic domain is correctly receiving non-yahoo emails.
Obviously, I'm not expecting anyone to...
I've run a scan with Malwarebytes and two other scanners with problems reported, although I did not run the scanner with the browser shut down. I'll do that tonight.
Unfortunately, I have run into a difficulty in following your instructions.
Starting at the screen that says:

When trying to log into Yahoo, I get the message listed in the subject line and I'm invited to enter my old password and choose a new password.
Searching the internet for the message listed (Subject), I see conflicting advice regarding whether it is legitimate or phishing.
Does anyone know...
