Symantec! makes! Yahoo! error!

Symantec have made a bit of a boo-boo with their false warning of a Yahoo! Mail virus.

Earlier this week when visiting Yahoo Mail's beta version, Symantec's security software warned (for those who had it installed) that the site included the Feebs Worm.

Symantec admitted this as a false positive, but dealt with it quickly:
"Given the timeliness of the response and the limited number of products which would have used those (incorrect) definitions, we expect the impact of this to be very limited."
