A malicious virus can bring your computer to a standstill (or worse). Much worse. That's why Yahoo!Xtra is constantly on the lookout for new viruses and ways to stop them.*

Yahoo!Xtra Mail automatically scans all incoming and outgoing email attachments for known viruses. We use industry-leading Norton AntiVirus software, so you don't have to do a thing. Download the attachment and wait for that reassuring message "No Virus Threat Detected." If a virus is detected, it will be cleaned if possible, and you'll be given further instructions.

* Remember, not all viruses can be detected and cleaned. There's a risk involved whenever you download email attachments to your computer or send email attachments to others. As stated in our Terms of Service, neither Yahoo!Xtra nor its licensors are responsible for any damages caused by your decision to download email attachments.
