Anonymous password appears on my yahoo log in window, it cannot be deleted pls Help

This password appears on my yahoo messenger sign in page which is not mine because my password is longer. I have never set to remember id and password by the way. I delete it and type my own password to log in, but everytime I sign out the password reappears in the box...Why is there a anonymous password appears on my yahoo messenger? I know its NOT my password but it appears there and I have tried signing in with this unknown password... strange thing is I actually can sign in with that password using my own id?? Is something wrong here? Why I can sign in with this password other than my own password??

Simple, you have been hacked and need to purchase a good antivirus scanning program and clean up your computer. Some one has compromised your computer. Also, download and use: Spybot Search & Destroy; Malwarebytes; Superantispyware and the last three programs are nice spyware & malware scanners and are free. Clean up your computer first!

SOURCE: i am unable to sign in to yahoo messenger

Install older version of yahoo messenger..
And let me tell your one thing that, when to try to login to your yahoo account on yahoo messenger, your internet connection must be responding. This you can ensure by keeping your server busy(opening websites).
The problem you are telling might be caused when you are trying to login to yahoo account through yahoo messenger and yahoo mail.
I recommend you that you open yahoo account through yahoo mail(only if you are unable to sign in to yahoo account through yahoo messenger.)
yahoo mail now-a-days is providing yahoo chat service when you sign in your yahoo account on yahoo mail.
at left side of your mail box you can see yahoo mini messenger.

THANK YOU for contacting Fixya.com

SOURCE: about signing in in yahoo messenger

Yahoo messenger presently is undergoing few changes at the server end. In order to login efficiently I use to run two ping commands. To do so, press on start button click on run button type cmd in the box and hit ok button. In the black window now type exactly the same in the bracket remember brackets are not included in the command (ping www.yahoo.com -t) don't forget to put space after .com before typing -t. -t is hyphen t. repeat this message once more and you will be able to login through messenger. Happy chatting

Testimonial: "hey thanks alot...!!!"
