See if Yahoo messenger is in the list of Startup Programs.
Start button > Control Panel >classic view > Windows Defender > Tools > Software Explorer > next to Category, make sure it says " Starup Programs ". If not, click the pointer and select > bottom, click Show all users > uac prompt > wait > scroll down and find Yahoo Messenger ( don't scroll too fast and miss it ) > click Disable on the bottom right .
Hope this will help.
