YAHOO REMOVAL ELIMINATE DELETE
My default search engine is GOOGLE. I am not a fan of Yahoo. I tried to upload screenshots but I guess it just to hard to upload a 127kb jpg file.
In the speed dial there is a search box I type in my search and it goes to YAHOO. Its not in my addons something is making it go to yahoo. Specifically Yahoo Philippines (Yes I live in PI)
Can anyone help me before I dump Firefox

Hi !
In case you're not talking about the legitimate Yahoo search engine :
Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:
SafeSearch Incognito SearchAssist Incognito
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
