...............This ONLY happens when Yahoo toolbar is installed. When I remove Yahoo toolbar, Yahoo stops hijacking my homepage and mail. Anyone know which file in the Yahoo program folder I can remove to stop the hijacking?

I don't think you need to un-install anything.





In Internet Explorer just go to Tools, then Internet Options. Under the General tab you will see "Home Page".





Change this to what you want it to be.





Very similar for Firefox. Tools, Options, Main tab, Start-up...
Reply:You did not disable "make yahoo my default homepage" before completing installation of toolbar. Uninstall and reinstall the toolbar, making sure to remove the check mark for the default page.
Reply:Go to control panel/ internet options and then in the box type in the home page you want. then click Apply at the bottome of the box.


As others stated, you should pay close attention to whatis installed and unclick any unwanted changes to your CPU.
