Problem #1: you installed some crap from Yahoo. Betcha won't do THAT  
again ! :-)

They have THE most annoying shite that burrows, parasite-like onto  
systems, mostly PC but also, as you've found, the Mac as well.

I've seen poor unfortunate PC victims fire up IE to have half the  
window taken up with toolbars...

Look in your startup items in the Accounts preference pane in System  
Prefs. Note, unchecking something there only affects the visibility,  
not whether it's there or not,. select it and click the small - sign  
under the list.

Next look in /Library/Startup Items, it should be obvious there.

There are a few other places to hide stuff in startup mode but those  
two should cover it.
