Uninstall yahoo messenger and run one of these.
All of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.
Try this scan, its free, it removes
I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

You should use an online antivirus scan in safe mode. One which I use (requires java when used in safe mode) is TendMicro's Housecall.
housecall.trendmicro.com
Microsoft also has a live safety scan that can be performed to help rid of viruses and spyware.
safety.live.com
I wouldn't trust your antivirus program because the virus may have affected the software's functioning....
Hope this helps and good luck...

If you have an AntiVirus program, run your pc in safe mode and run the program to detect and delete the virus
