    I am not sure I can be any clearer. When I click on an internet link in my email, nothing happens, it does not open the link. This problem began about a week ago.

    In that case, please completely clear your internet cache and start over.

    It's good practice NOT to click through links contained in e-mail, no matter who they come from.
    This is one of the current attack vectors for various malware and trojan infections.

    TBH it's good practice NOT to click through links contained in e-mail, no matter who they come from.

    Okay, but how do I clear my internet cache - where do I find it? And thanks for your help and advice.

    Sometimes if you press Ctrl and click simultaneously on the link it can bring up the link in a new window. You can try deleting the internet history by pressing Ctrl and H simultaneously and you should find a delete all history button of some kind depending on which browser you use.

    Also, Yahoo just recently drastically changed their mail layout about a week ago so there will probably be some glitches for a while as there usually are when they change the layout (judging by my own experience using Yahoo mail).
