I have received a message that BT Yahoo system that I have will be extinct from 1st September. Uninstall and install whatever they said. Is this a scam or do I trust it. Haven't got a clue how to uninstall or install a new one although they do give instructions.
Many thanks

The option appears to be to install IE8, 'optimised for yahoo' whatever that means.......!

Look at the web page link I posted.

Thanks inspector
I have googled this but they are having trouble and cannot display it at the moment. If I lose Yahoo I suppose I can still use google. Sorry but I am really thick when it comes to doing anything but the norm on Computer.

Thanks also to Jude for her help
