Search engine

[sprayer]

As I know next to nothing about computers can somebody help me with an annoying problem.
I use Google as my main search engine and am very happy with it, I also use Yahoo from time to time as a standby and also for an extra email address, I have used these two together for a long time now and never had any problems but in the last few days every few minutes a pop up appears saying ''Google detected a change in your search settings'' when I click on it it says Yahoo Search is trying to make itself my main search engine which I don't want then a pop up appears saying ''Click to stop this happening'' which I do but a few minutes later it starts all over again and is driving me crazy so how can I stop this happening. I am running Windows XP.

2. Click on the Pencil icon on the Yahoo toolbar.
3. Select 'Uninstall'.
3. Click on 'Uninstall' on the Uninstall page.
4. Close all Internet Explorer windows.
5. Start Internet Explorer again.
