How did a Yahoo! item suddenly appear in my menu bar, and how can I get rid of it?

I connected to the internet as usual to find that the menu item Yahoo! appears as described above.
As I has lost all my previous tabs (from doing some offline housekeeping), I had to manually establish access to my favoutire tabs.
When tryign to establish contact with Gmail, Yahoo kept intercepting my requests and presenting me with a doce 404.
Even when I tried other sites, the same problem occurred.
I eventually managed to overcome this issue, but I am still concerned that Yahoo! appears to be taking over as my search engine.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike.

HI there
Thank you for trying to help me. You're going to think I'm really thick, but I can't seem to do a screen shot.
I pressed the command and the 3 button, plus what I believe is the shift key, Hat is the one on the left hand side, with an arrow on it, which you use for a capital letter yeah?
But nothing happens.
Also I can't see what you are reffering to when you say click onto the camera icon? I can't see any such icon.
Sorry to be so useless.
I have just noticed that it is obviously connected with the sound. It has a row of boxes undeneath the logo, and as you increase the volume, the boxes fill up from left to right, and the logo flutters at the same time.
have alogitec amplifier and speaker system connected to it, and have just noticed that the sun logo looks very similar to the Logitec symble/Logo.
Is that of any help please?

  • Yahoo has suddenly appeared on my MENU bar and I can't get it off.

    I deleted the program, removed it from addons. Nothing works.

    If you are referring to the menu bar in Firefox. You need to select the "Tools" menu and go to "Add-ons". In the Add-ons dialog box select "Extensions at the top, then scroll down to find the "Yahoo" entry. Press the "Uninstall" button.
    You will need to restart Firefox to complete.

  • TS1702 I have a problem with an app called GSN casino. It has appeared on my app screen and I can't get rid of it.

    There is no way that I can see to get this supid thing off my app screen. I can't update apps I can't add new apps I can't do anything and I **** sure don't want this app.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Yahoo has hijacked my web browser from Firefox and I can't get rid of it.

    I have tried every way to change it, and my settings say Firefox is still my default browser yet it opens with AT&T/Yahoo as my search engine. I hate AT&T and have eliminated them completely from my life and don't want them as my search engine. I am currently running a virus extractor as I read that could be the problem, but if that doesn't work, any other suggestions?

    My browser was hijacked to switct to Bing. If you have a similar problem, try this:
    1- download & run "Hijack This"
    2- check to see if there are any entries that mention "sweet" or "Sweetbacks"
    3- delete any entry that says "sweet" of "sweetback"
    4- open browser’s "Settings"
    5- open “set pages”
    6- delete all entries with "sweet" or "sweetbacks" backs in them
    7- check all the browsers listed under "set pages" for malware or just a
    bad reputation
    8- reboot immediately
    If sweetbacks was the problem, your browser should be back to normal
    and it should work the same for all browsers

  • How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

    Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
    Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

    Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes it. Does someone know how to fix this?

    I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?

    Just to clarify:
    Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
    If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
    If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
    If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
    Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
    Right click on the first image of the selection.
    From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
    Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
    Click it.

  • An unknown excel file has appeared on my desktop. It cannot be deleted and I cannot get any information about it. Is this malware?  How can I get rid of it?

    Is this malware?  How can I get rid of it?

    Hello Jeff,
    Thanks very much for your reply.  I looked over the article you mentioned, but I have tried all of these methods, but only get the response "The item “29394D00” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."  Similarly, I cannot Get Info on the file.  This is why I'm so concerned, it just appeared on my desktop, but I cannot touch it, or open it or delete it...
    If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, I'd love to hear about them...

  • Yahoo has taken over as my default page. It overrides what I have specified. How can I get rid of it?

    I've used the option dialogue box and set the default webpage to my own but yahoo comes up instead. They must be desperate! This really stinks. How can I get rid of it?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Before opening Firefox 4 this message appears:"TypeError:Components.classes(id)Undefined". How can I get rid of this

    Try the suggested idea above. I just disabled all the add-ons which were not compatible with FF 5 and did a FF restart. That fixed the problem. I then enabled each one, one at a time, with a FF restart until the problem came back. I then disabled that add-on.

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.
