It's been discussed here many many times, the solution to your problem is the belt needs to be tighten end of story. The Yaris does not have a auto tensioner for serpentine belt like the vast majority of modern cars do, so even a new belt will stretch after some time and the squeaking can come back. Mark the position on the tensioning bracket, and tighten in small increments until the noise is gone and you're done. Weather or not the increased alternator load theory is right or not is not relevant, it's making noise because there's not enough tension to keep the belt from slipping.

If you need some guy on Youtube to show you how, here you go:
