Is there a virus in Yahoo Messenger? Because Whenever I Log In To It Kaspersky Comes Up Saying Riskware: Hidden Data Sending.

The error code is: 80048869 and it says my IP address is not valid.
What do I need to do, keeping in mind that I’m barely computer literate.

Kaspersky has at least 2 settings I know of that would prevent Yahoo Messenger from starting and connecting to the internet. One is the IDS (real time intrusion detection system) and the other is the built-in firewall.
You may need to reinstall Kaspersky with the right options.
Here’s a discussion on the Kaspersky forums that talks about it and how to fix it: http://forum.kaspersky.com/lofiversion/i…
