In today's internet world, you MUST have an antivirus and firewall protection. I recommend AVG or Avast! for AV and ZoneAlarm for Firewall. They are both free, and highly regarded.

If you remove the Yahoo products, you need to have others already downloaded or on disk to install before going back online after an uninstallation of the Yahoo protection products. They seem to be packaged by your ISP, under Rogers Yahoo Applications in your Add/Remove Programs, but I would contact your ISP about proper removal of these embedded products, in case there are any twists I'm unaware of.

Only do this after we've decided there is no malware on your system.

Please run the Kaspersky online scan, and post the results here.
