After searching (here) and finding nothing really about removing or uninstalling Yahoo toolbar
or anything for that matter about the Yahoo virus, I'm asking the question; how do you go about removing it?
This is what I've done to try and rid myself of the scourge: I have gone to control panel>Add/Remove programs>uninstalled, then to CCleaner to remove/uninstall the Yahoo Installer that would not leave via add/remove > then registry cleanup via CCleaner then HiJackThis to remove the BHO and opened Firefox and there it was Yahoo toolbar. (hence:virus)
I removed CCleaner, Mozilla Firefox; went to program files and erased the folders of every thing concerned, reinstalled and I still have it. If I have to do a ******* complete reinstall to get rid of it I will.
Since screwing up and not unchecking the little box when I upped to 2.06, I have noticed a serious lag from the point of striking a letter/number on the keyboard to it showing up on the screen - I'd say as much as .5-3 seconds, which leads me to believe that by installing a persistent, self protecting malware I now have a keylogger called yahoo.
