If you have not used Antivirus software, do so immediately. If you have and the software finds it but cannot delete or rename it, try this. Even if your Antivirus software cannot delete them it can identify them. Make a note of their names and locations. Now restart your computer in the SAFE mode. Locate the infected files and delete them. Usually you can do this in the SAFE mode even if you cannot in the normal mode.
(Note, you may have to use the control panel to change the file properties to allow you to see hidden files.)
Now restart in the normal mode and run the Antivirus Software again. If it worked it will no longer find it.
Good Luck!

Your Yahoo tool bar should have an "Anit-Spy" button. Click on that and run a scan. Then follow the directions.
Good luck.
