Nine times out of ten when I attmpt to access my home page (my.yahoo.com) I get a message saying I am forbidden access to this URL. I also get a 403 error message. Before all this started I was receiving a message saying my home page was an Untrusted Site. I have cleared my cache and all cookies. It didn't help. Internet Explorer functions.
