Detailed Description:

This worm is known as a "spim" worm, which is basically spyware (or spam) delivered via instant messenger. Yhoo32.explr is a worm or virus that installs inself through Yahoo instant messenger, and it appears that AIM instant messenger and MSN messenger are both unaffected from it. This basically adds a new web browser on your pc, called the "safety browser", do not open this icon if you find it on your pc! It will have the IE icon and attempt to fool you into using this. This malware worm will self send itself to others in your Yahoo messenger list. You can still use your other web browsers fine, and you can delete this malware by just right clicking the icon and viewing its file name and location, then add it to your recycle bin.
