If you know you didn't send them, delete them.

Before attempting to remove malware you must switch off System Restore as back up files will be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run Avast and Ewido in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.

Delete them, then use any anti-spyware to check for pest programs. Yahoo Toolbar with Anti-Spyware is an easy solution.

Yes, check for spyware. Also read them. sometimes when you send an email from a site like EBay (for example) it sends a copy to your in-box, yahoo might see that as spam.
