Could any body tell me how I can get rid of this piece of junk? I originally downloaded it because I wanted to use their email addresses but have been having trouble with it ever since, the latest thing is a pop up keeps appearing saying Yahoo search is trying to change my search engine from Google to yahoo which I don't want however when trying to uninstall Yahoo nothing is listed in either control panel add/remove programs or in Revo uninstaller, I have done a search for Yahoo in ''all files & folders'' but nothing comes up so how can I get rid of it?, I should point out that I am running Windows XP

Download and run HIJACK THIS and see if you can remove it from there. If you cant download and run MalwareBytes in case you have a malware infection that could be related to this issue It sounds like you have an infection . SuperAntiSpyware is another good one which has a component to stop this changing of search engines and browsers
