The virus was released on February 4th. So if you do not have great
anti-virus protection such as that which is provided by Panda you will
not even know that you have been infected.

According to your link, this virus was written in Borland Delphi 4, not
JavaScript. Either way, it's offtopic for a Java newsgroup (Java and
JavaScript are not the same thing).

Not only that, Oliver, but despite the OP claims it has nothing to with
Internet Explorer and as little to do with Yahoo. In short, the OP
didn't do the minor research needed to find out what he/she was talking
