Default Compare two cells in two different files and return answer

I am attempting to compare two text cells and if they both exist, I want to
bring in a "yes" answer. If they don't, bring in a "no" answer. Here's an
example of text.

File 1
Col A Col B
BRATTA ZPB_COMMON
AHERNC ZPB_COMMON
GENCABH ZPB_COMMON

File 2
Col A Col B
BRATTA ZPB_COMMON
AHERNC ZPB_COMMON
GENCABH

So, what I want to do is say in File 1 take cells A1 and B1 compare them to
File 2 and search Col A and Col B and if there is an exact match somewhere
in file 2 then return a "yes" in column C. If not, "no" in column C.

So, file 2 would look like this:
File 2
Col A Col B Col C
BRATTA ZPB_COMMON Yes
AHERNC ZPB_COMMON Yes
GENCABH No


Thanks in advance for any help.
