What are the risks of opening an email attachment?

Why can't I close the 'Virus Scan' window after opening/viewing an attachment in my Yahoo email?

  • When I download an attachment from my Yahoo mailbox, the attachment is automatically scanned for viruses before I can view it. However, once I view the attachment, a little pop-up window stating 'Virus Scan Results - No virus threat detected' still shows. Every time I try to close this pop-up by X-ing out or selecting 'Done', it does not close. I get an error on the bottom left of my screen that states 'Error on Page.' I can't get rid of that pop-up however I try, so I end up having to close the page altogether and log back in to Yahoo Mail. What can I do to stop this from happening??
