Why have it installed on your computer if you aren't going to use it?
And why block it, when you can just unistall it, and never have a
problem from it from then on.

Open the windows firewall, select the exceptions tab, uncheck yahoo
messenger.

That will prevent some of Yahoo's features from working, but it won't
prevent Yahoo Messenger from connecting out and people from chatting.
