as some of the worms doing the rounds on yahoo (and other IM's) at the moment are only made possible because ppl haven't used windows update for critical and security patches so the worms/trojans are using known security issues

No, you will no longer have spams in case you connect the Yahoo! Ansers. in basic terms hide your digital mail handle from the Contacts so as that different ppls can no longer deliver you e-mails.
