1. Do you have AVG and is it quarantined?
I think I just got rid of that virus a few weeks ago by deleting the file it was quarantined in.

4. If you can, scan the file here

http://virusscan.jotti.org (on this site there's also results of last file scanned where you can see how the different AVs fared)

If not a false positive, I can't find much on yahoo and google about that one specifically. Here's something on a variant:

See if you can find out if your AV removed it. If not, re-scan in safe mode if your AV can do that.
