How can I get rid of yahoo companion popup?

How do I get rid of "Loudpopz780" popup tab in Yahoo inbox? (Keeps coming back when I reopen.)?

Every time I open my Yahoo email inbox, a tab comes up for "loudpopz780" and flashes. If I close the tab, it reappears the next time I reopen Yahoo. I tried briefly opening the tab and it shows up as a request to establish a "messenger" relationship from someone I don't know. Is it adware or some other sort of malware? What can I safely do to get rid of it. I think that it got on my computer via a Yahoo group I belong to as they had some hacking problems last week.
Answer:

Open Yahoo! Mail View the sidebar at left Find "Online Contacts" the 'thunderbolt' icon is yellow indicating you are Signed In Click once on the 'thunderbolt' icon to Sign Out of Yahoo! Messenger To remove the indicator you need to open Yahoo! Messenger and delete the incoming message or respond to it. If you do not have a Yahoo! Messenger account, then clicking off the 'thunderbolt' icon is all you need to do.
