Why can't I use the Yahoo! search function? I get the following message: "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I cannot search on Yahoo! but Google works fine (inasmuch as you can trust Google)

The simplest of searches yields "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on the first try. I have gone through Yahoo!'s trouble shooting process w/o results.

Yahoo search engine still doesn't work, and Google does. Other programs on my computer are:

Norton Internet Security; Norton Utilities; Verizon In-home agent; (I don't use it, but have a Verizon wireless router); Windows Explorer (I reset it but still can't use Yahoo search even though Google works fine)

I am paranoid that some how the evil Google has sabotaged Yahoo search! HELP!!!
