This happened when I was at my "My Yahoo!" home page and I decided to do a Yahoo search. I put in the words and as soon as I clicked the search button, I got this warning screen in the lower right corner. My AV program, Trend Micro's "PC-cillin", was saying that someone is try to access my personal information and that PC-cillin was blocking them. There were a few boxes and the one that said "credit card information" was checked. It gave me the option of clicking to make an exception and allow the information to be transferred "or if you wish this information to be blocked, just shut this window." And it gave the URL above as the source of the attempted grab. (I added two spaces between "us." and "bc." so it wouldn't become a link.) Any of you techies, IT people, or sexy, lovable geeks out there know what to make of this? Does it mean someone at Yahoo was trying to steal my cc number? Do I need to add anything to IE7 to surf more safely?
Why did my anti-virus program say "http://us. bc.yahoo.com/b?P=iW" is trying to steal my credit card numbr?aurora
most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
