I bet the only "virus" you have is probably YMessenger itself!  \nThis is quite a common problem, and unfortunately noone I know has a good answer (please DON'T waste time "reinstalling" - I believe the chance of THAT fixing it is about 0.0001%).\n\nKeep an eye on this forum, where the subject is being keenly discussed: http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34181&referrerid=62526

That means that you were sent a socalled "AIM Virus"  they will just send out spam files to fill up hard drives.  It will send it to most of the people on your list, too.  I would suggest asking BEFORE you download it.

Try to forward the whole e-mail to yahooabuse@yahoo.com and see if that goes thru. if not then send it to this site and put in the subject line in all caps VIRUS ATTACHED

if norton antivirus is installed, u have to change the seetings in norton antivirus.\nif not, fully scan your computer with a good licenced one antivirus , will solve ur problem. \nthere is one more reason if u have any old yahoo messenger installed in it , remove it first and then re-install from the new release version of yahoo messenger from yahoo website only.

Hi there,\n\nWithout knowing exactly what virus you are infected with it is difficult to give specific advice.\n\nHowever, one all-in-one solution I would recommend you try to clean-up this mess is a program called Prevx1. This is continually proving to detect, protect and remove more malware (virii, spyware, adware, trojans, etc) than all leading security programs. They have also recently released an updated version which is reported as now being the most capable removal utility available ANYWHERE as well as continuing to protect you from being infected again in the future.\n\nYou can read more about prevx1 and/or download a free trial of the program from here:\nhttp://www.prevx.com

Go to the 'Quarantined Items' or 'Virus Vault' section of whatever antivirus you have got , select that trojan and click on 'Delete'. Thats all!

This is a virus that has to be removed manually.\n\n1: Close the IE browser. Log out messenger / Remove Internet Cable.\n\n2: To enable Regedit\n\nClick Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)\n\nREG add HKCU&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f\n\n3: To enable task manager : (To kill the process we need to enable task manager)\n\nClick Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below: (better - Copy and paste)\n\nREG add HKCU&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Windows&#92;CurrentVersion&#92;Policies&#92;System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f\n\n4: Now we need to change the default page of IE though regedit.\n\nStart>Run>Regedit\n\nFrom the below locations in Regedit chage your default home page to google.com or other.\n\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nHKEY_USERS&#92;Default&#92;Software&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;Main\n\nJust replace the attacker site with google.com or set it to blank page.\n\n5: Now we need to kill the process from back end. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del\n\nKill the process svhost32.exe . ( may be more than one process is running.. check properly)\n\n6: Delete svhost32.exe , svhost.exe files from Windows/ & temp/ directories. Or just search for svhost in your comp.. delete those files.\n\n7: Go to regedit search for svhost and delete all the results you get.\n\nStart menu > Run > Regedit >\n\n8: Restart the computer. That’s it now you are virus free.

I use AVG Anti-Virus, it's good & free. The Yahoo toolbar has a pop-up blocker that you can turn on. Also Ad-Aware from Lavasoft.
