annoying pop up when I open yahoo

JuneBow

When I open yahoo I am getting a pop up at the bottom of the screen.
It says
"Do you want to open or save get-user-id.js from ad.yeildmanager.com
It asks whether I want to open or save it. I also asks if I want to cancel it. However, when I click to cancel it will not let me cancel.
What can I do?

I use spybot. It is free and very good.

Spybot or malwarebytes will get rid of this.

I use Malwarebytes and it usually helps me in such a situation.

If the problem is exclusive to Yahoo it isn't spyware or any other malware. Yield Manager is part of Yahoo's advertising arm.

I ditched yahoo home page for same reason. Goes to show they don't care when they have people worried like this,exact sane message.
