How do I stop Yahoo from highjacking Firefox home page?

I am running Firefox 28 under Windows7.

Some utility which I accidentally installed and which I cannot now identify on my machine, keeps switching my Firefox StartPage and my NewTab page from Firefox search to Yahoo search. Firefox Reset appears to remove this effect, but even when showing the Firefox search screen, when you use it a Yahoo search is performed. And it is always Yahoo on the NewTab page.

How do I rid my machine of this pestilence?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
