hello,

Just a few computer questions:

I use yahoo.com as my homepage for the internet. Just notice that in the address bar it reads m.www.yahoo.com. Any reason why the m is infront of the address? I tried going into my internet options and trying to restore my home address but it keeps coming up with the same m.www.yahoo. com. Any ideas why?

Also is it possible to get a virus in your portable flash drive?

Thanks,
Nathan

The yahoo address is an auto reroute that they are using. I'm guessing that you stay signed into your yahoo account? The m.yahoo.com is just routing you to your personal homepage. (you should be able to customize the page)

As far as the flash drive it is possible to get a virus on it. Becareful if you think you have one on yours. Make sure you only plug it into a computer that has a virus scanning program on it. Once you do, you should be able to tell the program to scan just the flash drive andh hopefully take care of it.

M.Yahoo.com is the My Yahoo page.

Also, Yes, if it can hold data, it can get a virus.
