    Don't worry I guess there is nothing to do with your yahoo messenger installation or virus. Problem may be you have not de fragmented it well. Once I also got same problem. Restoring the system would not manage your disk partitions things.So follow defragmentation steps carefully. I am assuming you have only one C:\ drive available in your system right? If suppose it is of some 250GB then it would allow you to partition only upto certain system specific limit.

    Step 1: Right Click "My Computer" and click on "Manage" option. It will open computer management window.
    Step 2: In the "Navigation Pane" , under "Storage" click "Disk Management".
    Step 3: Right Click the volume you want to shrink and then click "Shrink volume". One important thing , just check if your actual 250GB(or whatever) is free or not after "Shrink Volume" or not. It should be completely unallocated. If there you see it is some 2GB or 4GB less than actual storage space then "Shrink Volume" that particular allocation.

    I fixed similar problem few time back in my laptop also but I cannot try it tweaking with it again as I have now lot of precious data in it.

    Hoping you are getting what I am trying to say and it is regrading the problem you are getting. See if this works and if problem still persists ,Please share the screen shot of your "Computer Management" window showing allocation of space clearly.

    Thanks !

    Go to My Computer -> right click on C drive -> Click on Properties -> Click on Disk Cleanup button

    The computer will now look for useless files that can be safely deleted from your computer. After this is done, you will see a window which will display the amount of space you will free after you perform a cleanup.. click on OK and then windows will clean up your drive for you.

    Also, the disk space that you think has been lost, could be used by the system restore to keep a backup in case you restore your computer to an earlier time. You can change the amount of disk space available for system restore.

    NOTE that lesser amount of disk space you specify, the number of system restore points will be reduced accordingly..

    You can make a backup of your recovery drive on DVDs..Go to the start menu and look for Recovery options..There you will find how you can make a backup of your recovery drive..If you have any doubts, use the instructions in the link below:

    I think you can get a free beta version of Windows 7 from Microsoft's website
