Run AIM Fix, if it detects something, run it again after reboot to make sure it removed it.

After that, run a full Adaware/Spybot S&D scan, after updating it.

Then change your profile and restart your computer again - make sure it's gone for good :-). I believe there should be a process called "YahooMsgr.exe" running - that's the culprit. If it still apears, I would suggest a HJT log.



Hope that helps,
kram
