Starting last night, when I light off Yahoo Messenger, I get a box saying "There is a security update for Yahoo messenger. You should install immediately." Any body else get this? I'm wary with all the bugs out there. Thank you very much.

I got the same message, and when i went to the Yahoo Security site it did say that a new update was released yesterday. If you go to this page, it will detect whether or not you need the update.
