Hi

I have am running Win 7 Ultra. I use Bitdefender Internet for my main virus checker. Somehow I picked up a yahoo hijack. How do I get rid of it? I use Firefox for a browser. I have run Malwarebytes and Hitman and they didn't find it.

Thanks

Dave

Thanks these things are a pain. I have a toolbar remover but it didn't show this up. I tried to search google and it comes up with all these scams trying to sell you a virus checker. If I am not careful I cause a larger problem trying to fix this problem.

God Bless

Thanks

Again

Ok, See if I understand you correctly, you have the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox?

This page explains step by step how to remove it (Remove Yahoo Toolbar and search.yahoo.com (Removal Guide)):

Yahoo hijack? I havent heard of that one as yahoo doesnt really do things like that. You might have had something install a yahoo tool bar or changed your home pages. What exactly is happening?
