Are they hacking into our personal info on our computer, are they viruses or what?

these are bots, created by a very clever hacker. There are many running on Yahoo Answers right now and there is no way for us to get rid of them. Yahoo people are working to find the source of the bots, but that's a very difficult and time-consuming job to find the lines of code. Eventually, they will either stop or Yahoo people will find them and stop them. They are not viruses, and clicking on their links only gives them a hit on their website, which may be what they are after. Ignore them, they are harmless, just very annoying.

For what it's worth, the Dr. Web Link Checker is currently
reporting that the bot's website is clean and has NO viruses!
