Hi,

New Tab by Yahoo is labelled as WinYahoo:

PUP.Optional.WinYahoo, C:\USERS\USER\APPDATA\ROAMING\MOZILLA\FIREFOX\PROFILES\WCUDKK18.TEST2\EXTENSIONS\JID1-G80EC8LLEBK5FQ@JETPACK.XPI, No Action By User, [117], [245051],1.0.711

Other Yahoo add-ons from Mozilla Add-ons doing similar tasks and being distributed not only from AMO are not detected as such.
