Lee, by now, avast! scans pop3/smtp/imap email accounts.
You can seach by Yahoo in the forums and you will find a lot of information about. I suggest YahooPops Windows 0.6 (http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/yahoopops/yahoopops-win-0.6.exe).
Sorry, I cannot give you more help as I’m not a yahoo user…
Hi, for Yahoo and MSN messenger protection you can use Instant Messaging provider in avast!. Simply check Yahoo and MSN in configuration dialog and avast! will protect you.
The link that you gave Technical is not working.The program is not working because yahoo give not anymore free pop.I am a Yahoo user and you must paid for the POP server
ok, thank you for your help here poeple
Do you want I send it by email? 
Here is the info for checking downloaded files in both msn and yahoo messenger.
Place the following into the line that requires the virus checking info:
“C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe”
This assumes that you installed avast! to it’s default directory (Folder).
