Mad yahoo

My FF has been hijacked by Yahoo, I guess I downloaded it with something else and its sort of Malware. FF comes up but when I search it turns into Yahoo and gives stupid results.

I looked online and found suggestions to fix it in FF extensions/add ons in toolbar but I think it says I don't have any. I tried to look in programs and it also appeared to have nothing hooked onto FF.

So I decided to use Chrome until I figured it out and the second time I opened it THERE WAS STUPID YAHOO. It took the search icon out of Chrome bar and I was forced to click on a blue:

The 'rckt' says WSE Rocket Search in FF.


I was mentioned that if you uninstall FF it just comes back, I guess its in the computer?

I don't know why I cant find it, any ideas?


Thanks,
judi


My copy did not come out the same as it read for me.
