From: "Rich Gauszka" 

I tried the 2nd machine to verify the hang on the Yahoo login. The good
news is that IE7 appeared to uninstalled well. I wouldn't have ordinarily
noticed the Yahoo glitch as I use Firefox for my Yahoo access. It's just
that I needed to reload the free AT&T/Yahoo CA antivirus/antispam
software and Yahoo would only allow a version of IE to be used  with their
version of a download manager. IE7 hung solid on the subsequent login
