Your friends have that virus, not you.

I had this problem too. Try deleting the current version of Yahoo that you have. DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS. Re-download Yahoo. Turn the antivirus back on and scan the program you downloaded. Then run the program again. It 'should' work.

SPAM\nleave it alone!\nmark it as spam and yahoo will note it (probably do nothing with that "note") and delete it

Well what it sounds like is a browser hijack. Go on your internet explorer and go into tools then go into options. Then that will show you what is set as your default home page. Type in a standard webpage like www.google.com/ or www.yahoo.com/ apply setting close out of the internet explorer and see if it still redirects you to the other site. If so you have a browser hijack.\n\nNow to remove it. Try hitting it with a virus scanner. I wouldnt suggest using a spyware remover since it sounds like its a browser hijack and they are really poor at removing dll.s and the files that are associated with the virus.\n\nIf the virus freezes when you scan it then down load a program called " hijack this" run it and it will tell you the process that are eunning that are connected with the hijack. Terminate and delete the process using hijack this.\n\nDo not reformat your hard drive for you will loose all your information and the virus that you have is not a bad one, the person that told you to reformat is a complete idiot and probably has no real computer experience.

Yahoo in itself will not give you viruses, but beware of people that send files over im or try to get you to visit websites.  Also be sure that you have a good virus protection program and firewall.\n\nHere is another answer for the same question that answers it very succinctly

Let me try to answer this. \nWhat I was told is to :-\n1) write down the full name of the virus as shown\n  by Zone Alarm\n2) Go to Window and do a search for this virus as\n   virus is just another file. \n3) When you locate it then you can delete or some\n   people call it uninstall.\n\nNote : step 2 and 3 were told to me by some one as\n       I am also having similar problem.\n       However I still do not know how to go about\n       executing step 2 or 3 myself. Perhaps if you\n       konw how , pls do teach me.

Starware isn't with Yahoo.\n\nNo its not a virus, but it comes equipped with the usual unappreciated Spyware/Adware.

It's a trojan running undetected in the background.  Nothing will get rid of it except formating your harddrive and reinstalling windows.  Don't attempt this without someone knowledgeable present or at least buy a book on it.

Forget about Yahoo...\n\nFor spyware solutions, Spybot Search & Destroy works very well.  If you are willing to try Microsoft's beta, you can also consider defender.  Both are currently free.\n\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=435bfce7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en\n\nAlways remember that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure.  That said, do not visit unknown websites, open suspicious emails and attachments, or click on links that you don’t know what it’s for.  Also, always keep your anti-spyware and antivirus programs on.  These simple guidelines will save you from hours of headaches with pop-up ads and computer slow down.  Good luck and have a nice day!

Uninstall it, maybe? What do you mean? That's a pretty vague question. =P\n\nIf you mean cancel your Yahoo! account, I'm not sure you can. Try taking a look at the "Help" link on the main Yahoo! page. =)

First of all to avoid an infection, use a firewall. To remove the virus, try scanning your hard drive for it using an anti-virus software. If you think that your antivirus is infected, download someother antivirus. Or use stinger ( http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ ), a standalone virus removal tool.
