Is there a virus going round on yahoo messenger?

I posed that question 3 days ago and there were some ppl who had the same problem. I just wanted to say that I found out how they did it. By opening those websites, they send you tracking cookies, therefore other messages can be sent with your name. After a system recovery (I just put it back to the state of a day before), I was recommended a great free virusscan which can also find tracking cookies: "ad aware personel se". you can google for it, not all virusscans find tracking cookies, but this one found 14 on my computer. You never know of course, I'm no computer expert, but I think that now, the problem is settled.
