I use this and Chrome but have Firefox set as my default as it seems faster and also because for some reason i cannot save anymore bookmarks on Chrome, so i decided to mainly use Firefox, suddenly Yahoo has been installing itself over the top of Firefox and it wont uninstall until i have done a Virus scan, i reinstall Firefox and it is ok for a while then fucking Yahoo appears again, think i know why this started again yesterday, i was getting ads popping up everywhere so installed the extension ad block plus which i have used all the time and also use on Chrome, when i added that extension another add block program keeps jumping in with it, can't remember the name, again this has all seemed to start since that last fucking Windows update, i did get a message this morning that i had an update but when i looked there was no update...i think it is either a virus or malware, i have Googled the problem but so far nothing works, i really do not want Yahoo at all and especially not when it thinks it can just install itself on my PC just because it feels like it....really pissed of with Microsoft lately.:(

Are these programs ok though m8, when i download stuff like this they are always wanting you to sign up to stuff or donate or pay for something or want you to have Mcafee virus protection or something?

So how do you root it out and get rid of it, if Windows defender is hiding these things it don't give us much chance.

Used them for years no problem, and together work great, just click off what you don't want and occasionally be careful not to load Google software, if you ain't pissed it's easy.

Used both those programs m8, everything looked fine so i installed Firefox again, ok for about 30 seconds went to the website and then a screen popped up and told me it had installed adblocker plus even though i had not wanted to do that and the other adblocker installed again i think it was called popup blocker or something, i clicked off it pretty fast before it could get set but as soon as i left the website and clicked Firefox on again it was back to fucking Yahoo.....looks like i will be dropping Firefox altogether now, still say all this crap started after the last Windows updates i had not had any problem until that a couple of weeks ago

Thats right run in safe mode better, but you definitely have something nasty and yahoo looks suspicious do you have a bt yahoo email address as they recently went to someone else who wanted to access the far end of a fart. Seems to me that there are a lot of problems with windows 10, glad I sticked to 7, but even there everyone wants you to use their browser, google and even now avast, why I ask??? If you find solution let us know.

No i don't have a Yahoo E-mail address, i Googled it and it seems it is becoming a common problem, might just pay for Bullguard again, i never had any problems when i was running that, i have uninstalled Firefox but for the life of me it will not let me uninstall Yahoo, how do i run those programs in Safe Mode then?
