    You can’t. Get a virus remover.

    Yahoo is a website/e-mail/Instant messenger provider. They do not "fix" peoples computers.

    The owner of the computer is the one responsible for its proper maintenance.

    You have to use a virus extraction device like Norton or McAfee, yahoo doesn’t do anything except act as a host or homepage.

    How to remove Fake Software, Pop-Ups, Spyware, Trojans and Viruses:

    Download, install, update and scan your computer with both Malwarebytes and SuperantiSpyware, delete what ever they find, if this fails to completely remove the virus/spyware download then update Avast and run a boot scan (click schedule boot-time scan and restart your PC), all the software below is free and safe to use.

    Malwarebytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

    SuperantiSpyware: http://www.superantispyware.com/

    Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

    To protect your PC in the future you’ll need to install anti-virus software and a firewall, id recommend using Avast and Comodo Pro firewall both are very effective and completely free, you should also switch to Firefox 3 if you are browsing with IE as its much safer and a lot easier to use.
