First use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

You always need Anti-virus software.  You might run into harmful spyware that invites viruses from other sources like websites, chat tools and download websites.  \n\nBut yes, Yahoo's built-in anti-virus is good.

Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging.

Try uninstalling, then use Registry Mechanic or anything of the sort to delete all Yahoo! Registry files, and then delete the Yahoo! Messenger (if it still exists)...\n\nThis is to guarantee that there is no settings saved by Yahoo! Available on the PC...\n\nThen try installing it again...\n\nIf it works but doesn't log-in, then check if Yahoo! is permitted to access the internet or not...check that in your Firewall Application...

To fix the Windows error, you'll have to verify your copy of Windows again. The easiest way to do this is through their online verification page, failing that you'll need to call them.\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/whyValidate.aspx\n\nThe Yahoo Messenger error sounds like it's something bad in the cache. Unistall YIM, clear your temp files and internet cache, and then re-install YIM.\n\nOne easy way of clearing it is using a free program to do it all automatically. My personal preference is: \nCCleaner\nhttp://www.ccleaner.com/\n\nHope this helps.

Its a relatively new virus. It's been running around Yahoo Messenger for awhile. \n\nYou can kill the virus, but the damage is done. Unless you know how to repair your registry files, the best answer is to reinstall your Windows
