If Yahoo! discovers that a Widget has a security problem, your installation of Yahoo! Widgets disables the Widget and moves it to a folder called Disabled in My Documents\My Widgets or Documents:My Widgets. We recommend that you don't run this Widget again; instead, visit the Widget Gallery for an updated version of the Widget.

If you find that a Widget is degrading your computer's performance in some way, please report the Widget to customer support. Please send an email to widgets-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com, and attach the Widget from the Disabled folder. You can typically find your Widget in your My Widgets Disabled folder (Widgets folder on the Mac) and the filename is usually widget_name.widget.
