Fred's note: I followed the directions below, and YES all my preferences had been changed to YES send me the junk stuff. If you have registered for a Yahoo ID and DON'T want all the junk stuff, then follow the directions to stop it. I had noticed that I was getting a heck of a lot more junk mail in the last several days. This is probably the reason.
