Yahoo uses at least one other domain - yimg.com (and variations like
us.i1.yimg.com) - to serve ads and cookies. Perhaps you need to add it to the
security settings list.

In any case, if you are concerned about security you might want to consider
downloading the FireFox browser which is said to be much less vulnerable than
IE.
