Google "Windows Defender" install it - You'll be surprised in what it finds.  You could possibly be a victim of spyware/malware Browser Hijacking.\n\nGood Luck

Yahoo Toolbar has anti-spyware built-in.\n\nMicrosoft also has an anti-spyware beta you can try.\n\nI use both.

Try booting into safe mode and then deleting. If this don't work you have to have a good spyware remover Ad-Aware and spy bot are the best of the free ones. If these don't do the job, then purchase a spyware program. I suggst and use Spy Sweeper from Web Root.

Well since that was a vague question, here is a vague solution, just get rid of Yahoo Anti Spy, it isn't very good anyway.

Would suggest doing a search for a program called "Adaware" which is a free spyware removal tool.\n\nAlso look into downloading the newest version of Yahoo! Companion toolbar with the Pop-up blocker AND Anti-Spy spyware search feature.\n\nLook into purchasing a virus scan program that detects spyware (most of them do now a days) and also you'll want a firewall if you do a lot of online searching and shopping, this stops a lot of spyware.\n\nAlso look into downloading the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It's an amazing alternative to Internet Explorer. Firefox is faster, safer, and has loads of more features built right in INCLUDING spyware protection and pop-up blocking.\n\n\nSimply put, if's it's not a spyware problem. The Yahoo Companion toolbar catches 95% of them for me, and that would the simplest solution. But you may already be using that as your pop-up blocker.

That file is like " Yahoo install helper" . dll and was used to up-date Yahoo to your new IE browser. If all is working it may be dumped. Where did you find it, in a temp folder or down load folder? Still, was used for the up-date and now (if all Yahoo services have been up-dated) is just another left over .dll.

Anti spy removes spyware, adwares & cookies picked by your computer from various websites, only when you run it. Pop-up blocker is different, it remains active all the times. If you need to install a pop-up blocker simply download yahoo toolbar, it has a pop up blocker installed in it. \n\nhttp://toolbar.yahoo.com

Download the following programs, Spybot Search & Destroy, Lavasoft's AdAware personal edition, AVG antivirus, Microsoft defender (microsoft antispy beta v2) and the good old yahoo toolbar. Scan the computer with all of these programs and it will remove the majority of your problems. Some of these programs will work in safe mode, which gives you a better chance to remove all the spyware you have.

You did not say what program you are using.\n\nIf you are using Spybot Search & Destroy, you just have to click the "Fix These" button. If you are using Ad-Aware, just check all the boxes and click "next".\n\nThe value if using a reputable program is that you can trust it's judgement.

You need something better than yahoo anti spy.\n\nAll of these are ones that I personally use and all are free.\n\nAVG Removes I-Worm/Stration · BackDoor.Generic3.GBB and .GBC · Worm/Generic.FX · Exploit.WMF\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5\n\nSpybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/\n\nhttp://superantispyware.com/\nSUPERAntiSpyware is the most thorough scanner on the market. Our Multi-Dimensional Scanning and Process Interrogation Technology will detect spyware that other products miss! SUPERAntiSpyware will remove ALL the Spyware, NOT just the easy ones!\nEasily remove over 100,000 pests such as SmitFraud, Vundo, WinFixer, SpyAxe, SpyFalcon, WinAntiVirus, AntiVermins and thousands more!\nMake sure after you download any of these, that you update them.\n\n *Be sure to come back to Yahoo Q&A and vote for one of the answers as best answer!

I think the anti-spyware has changed - at least mine has since I downloaded the latest from their software centre:\n\nhttp://bt.software.yahoo.com/ysftc/p/bt/v3/welcome\n\nHave a go - you'll get a shield icon instead of the old target and then you get this pop-up with all the security stuff on it - the Anti-spyware is on there.\n\nHope this helps :)

Try going to toolbar.yahoo.com and check out the user forum.  Most of the Mac users say the antispy works.  \n\nAs a worst case scenario, download it and try it.  If it doesn't work, uninstall it.  All you've lost is about 30 minutes of time.  I know two people who have it on their Macs and they're very happy with it.
