It wouldnt work... it was slow when it did...etc etc. I am not surprised. 21 Trojans 250+ PUPS whatever ther are. I did a cleanup. Spybot, Mal, MSE,CC. Defrag. The works Stripped off all the junk in add & remove. Now I want to get rid of the Yahoo as in title. How do I do that, Please. PJ. PS. The persons concerned have bought another computer. How long till that one is "Infected"? PJ	Poppa John (284)

I would disable system restore as well, then do another full scan with a virus scanner If I knew how to do that I wouldn't be here. Yahoo is not on the add & remove & I cannot see an Uninstall anywhere. How, please. PJ PS On this Box I have put Spybot S&D. Malwarebytes. MSE. MS Firewall. Smart Defrag. CCleaner. Did all those.

1229233	2011-09-06 23:47:00	PJ. Open IE. Right click anywhere on the menu bar. Close the Yahoo toolbar. Go to anywhere that you want via the address bar. Then click Tools, Internet Options and ensure that wherever you are is in the small box at the top. Click OK.	Snorkbox (15764)
1229234	2011-09-06 23:55:00	Snorkbox...Ok thanks. Done all that & 'gone' Now have to decide on a homepage & toolbar. PJ	Poppa John (284)
1229235	2011-09-07 00:40:00	PJ. You don't need a toolbar. Home page I use is NZCITY. www.nzcity.co.nz then you can personalise it.	Snorkbox (15764)
