What browser do you use?
It's not a virus .. or adware .. just an annoyance.

Hi, I am using IE9... Can't see the delete button ?

Each time you log onto AnswerBank, you will see at the bottom (above START) a number of addresses appear, one after the other. One of them is always ad.yieldmanager.com. They are marketing tools and do not usually presen any problems.

If you click on Tools, then Internet options, there's a delete button under the heading "Browsing Industry"

"Browsing history" lol. Don't know why I typed Industry - fingers have got a mind of their own.

Thanks .. .saved some typing : )

Does that delete everything? Would it matter if I delete everything?

[AlBags]

No ..

You will just have to re-enter some details or membership number at some sites or internet banking site.
If you used Firefox .. you can add those sites as 'exceptions' Thay will not be deleted then with everything else.
The adyield crap will keep coming back though .. like a weed.

I'll give it a go, thanks

Nope. According to your other post you freely typed your login and password details into a scam website. No virus involved.

Yes, squarebear... they were very clever and I was extremely stupid!
