I always keep it top notch and never have had a problem like this before. 3 months I've been having this issue and can't seem to bust it. I have looked in extensions in Chrome and all the settings... even uninstalled and re-installed. Nothing runs in processes of yahoo... There is not a single Yahoo program or toolbar on my computer. I HATE YAHOO...! This is some sort of malware im guessing. Like I said, I know my computers like the back of my hand compared to most PC users. Google chrome is also set as my default search and everything... I only use google searching. Maybe someone has an answer for me... I have done numerous searches on this[B][url]http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/[/url][/B] and nothing seems to work. I have removed everything that I could think of that could with it.
