Are you sure someone has hacked your computer? More likely, if someone is indeed using your Yahoo account, they have cracked your password. Change your Yahoo password and they shouldn't be able to get in - make sure that they haven't changed any settings so that they can use the forgot password link.
Often spammers will send messages appearing to be messages that could not be delivered, when in fact they are not, so I would not use the message you received as a way to confirm that someone has hacked your account.
