i also encountered that, and for me, its a great feature of Yahoo to warn users that they are entering a dangerous site

Yes, this tool is a beta product powered by Mcafee which is called Searchscan.

Does MSN has this feature?

Nope, I haven't see like this before but in my Yahoo email, while trying to login, I get many weird messages. Something I have never seen in 15 years while I used Yahoo.

The new feature from Yahoo! search is called Search Scan (by McAfee) that helps protect web users from viruses, spyware and spam making it safe to search online

I don't use Yahoo so I wouldn't know, but it sounds like a pretty nice feature.
