Well, if your network is anything like my network here, then you are 
sending mail to completely the wrong e-mail list.

yum isn't the problem, your networking is the problem.

You need to send e-mail to your networking group, or ISP, or whoever you 
get your networking through, and tell them that they can stop blocking 
your machine now that you've fixed the virus/webbot problem.

Why?
Because lot's of place really don't like infected machines, and they get 
blocked.  At least here, you have to go to the networking people, and 
computer security people, and prove to them that your machine is no 
longer infected with whatever it was before they will unblock it.
