i would advise you to reformat your hard drive...install everything back to normal get a good antivirus program...for me i would recommend you use AVG antivirus its free and updated daily... ^_^

I also has the Yahoo! Messenger Virus long ago. What I did was scanned my computer for viruses and spywares and I managed to get them off my system. Then I repaired my registry since the said Yahoo! Messenger Virus was attacking the pc's registry files.
