Hello Deni,
We are aware of this threat detection from AVG and it is reported as bug.
We have already reported this to our developers and they are working on a fix. Once a fix is found, it will be resolved via next AVG update.
For now, you can disable AVG temporarily and then try to access Yahoo mail.
To disable AVG temporarily, please right click on the AVG icon present at the bottom right corner of your desktop (System Tray) and use the slider to "Disable Protection".
Your patience is much appreciated.
I was checking my Yahoo emails this morning when I was warned of a Threat from one of my emails. At the time I was checking an order confirmation from Ebay. I immediately did a scan but continued to check my other messages. This threat warning popped up again for each email I checked, even ones from trusted sources. Every time I clicked an email or refreshed the page would result in this pop up appearing.
The pop up appeared as so:
Threat Secured
We're safely aborted connection on ecp.yusercontent.com because it was infected with URL:Phishing
More threats may be lurking!
I'm not sure what to do about it.
