Since the worm got through Yahoo's scanners, I would guess you can
have infected backup files which could pass your backup files as
clean. :(

I can't use my regular yahoo account for anything.

Sure you can, any email account is dangerous. Safer than some because
yahoo/hotmail servers have Anti-Virus scanners to clean malaware. :)
When their AV software know about it. :(

I don't know what kind of Yahoo account the original poster has, but
the free (of charge) Yahoo! Mail account only does *spam* filtering,
not *virus* scanning [1].

[1] At least they don't talk about it and they freely pass (long) known
viruses (Been there, done that, got the popup from *my* AV software.).
