[QUOTE="cadam, post: 1579010, member: 249135"] I recently updated Flash etc. when asked, but i also installed a Firefox add-on called YouTube Unblocker, which is supposed to (and does!) do what it says. Now a few saved web pages involved with WordPress tips and my Add-ons Page are hijacked by Yahoo search results. I've tried setting the default search engine to Google (successful) and doing the about:config change, but this takeover still happens. I can't uninstall the YouTube thing as my Add-ons page stays for only 2 seconds! CleanMyMac can't do an uninstall as the program does not show up. All other stored web pages are unaffected until today when I clicked on a web site and got instead Yahoo search results for the website's name!!! Is this a virus?? Can anyone help? [/QUOTE]
