    "ad yield manager" is spyware/adware served up by Yahoo.

    It will appear whenever you are using any of their services, as cookies, and pop-up ads.

    Requires "Opt out".

    Visit your virus-scan software manufacturer's Web site and install any virus updates such as McAfee that are available. Then run the software. The software may not be able to delete the virus, but it may be able to identify it.

    Search the Web for information regarding your specific virus by typing the name of the virus or its associated file into a search engine followed by the word "virus." For example, "Melissa virus," "BubbleBoy virus," etc.

    Download and install any patches or other programs that will help you eliminate the virus. Or follow any instructions you find on deleting the virus manually.

    Run another virus scan to make sure the virus has been dealt with properly.

    stop opening mail from people you don't know or newsletters you didn't subscribe to ffs.

    Use malwarebytes, remove any infections. uninstall yahoo's stupid toolbar and googles too if you have that. Really remove any toolbar you have installed. You don't need them and they make your computer run like ****.
