how can I opt out of Yahoo messenger?

My son set this up for me thinking I'd like it but I don't. I want it GONE.

Any advice on how to uninstall it would be gratefully received.

Update:

Thanks to all those very informed answers. I am finally rid of that troublesome programme (I hope!) there is one slight problem though, my Yahoo toolbars has changed, can I get it back to the original setting?

    If you have windows then do the following:

    1. Click on the start button, and click on "Control Panel"

    2. Click on "Add or Remove Programs"

    3. Select "Yahoo! Messenger", or something that has a name similar to that, and click on uninstall. Now, POOF!. It's gone.
