Hello there,
Some serious virus has effected my Yahoo messenger. It pops out some porn links to all my friends full time when i gets logged in. If they are also off line it pops out messages. The status seems to be like written in other languages. How can i fix this problem. Any information about this would be great.

Okay, I attached you a copy of HijackThis!
Take it and install it. After that, go to HijackThis.exe and choose Do a system scan and save to logfile.

After that, attach the logfile here :)

Seems like spyware. Try Spybot S&D, if that doesn't do the job, try what NuLLByTe said.

Yeah i would run a spyware check. I haven't managed to get spyware through YIM yet so that's good :D

I hope i don't cause i don't know how to remove it and it's not my computer so i'm not allowed doing installs on it. My dad seems to think that spyware and viruses have some magic way of keep coming back and only tech shops can remove them :p lol
