I agree with the above answer that it's spyware..here is the URL for Spybot S&D & also Spyware Doctor, they are both free. Hope this helps.

Well what it sounds like is a browser hijack. Go on your internet explorer and go into tools then go into options. Then that will show you what is set as your default home page. Type in a standard webpage like www.google.com/ or www.yahoo.com/ apply setting close out of the internet explorer and see if it still redirects you to the other site. If so you have a browser hijack.\n\nNow to remove it. Try hitting it with a virus scanner. I wouldnt suggest using a spyware remover since it sounds like its a browser hijack and they are really poor at removing dll.s and the files that are associated with the virus.\n\nIf the virus freezes when you scan it then down load a program called " hijack this" run it and it will tell you the process that are eunning that are connected with the hijack. Terminate and delete the process using hijack this.\n\nDo not reformat your hard drive for you will loose all your information and the virus that you have is not a bad one, the person that told you to reformat is a complete idiot and probably has no real computer experience.

Unless there's a link to allow you to revert back, you can't.\n\nTry a customizable My Yahoo page as your new home page instead. \n\nSee here:\n\nhttp://www.my.yahoo.com

What do you mean "delete" the home page?  If you want to remove it from being your home page, then you just go to the Internet Explorer "Tools"->"Internet Options...", then the "General" tab and change the webpage to whatever you want.

You can go to Tools -- Internet Properties -- and click clear history, but if you want to clear website history permanently..i suggest looking into one of these:\n\nthey clear your browser, registry, and swap disk as well..

I used to get it by typing www.yahoo.com/old and set it as my home page through Internet options from tools.\n\nThen I got used to the new one.

Sounds like something changed your homepage. Go to yahoo, and if you are using Internet Explorer, go up to TOOLS, click on INTERNET OPTIONS, then click the USE CURRENT button. Hit OK and you're all set. You would now have the page that you were on as your homepage.

Because one is a Beta version of the new homepage suposedly randomly chosen. To clear the "new" version if you don't like it,..go to tools, internet options and delete cookies and delete files. Close your browser and go to yahoo again.
