This thread was archived. Please ask a new question if you need help. how to remove Yahoo! search engine I have two yahoo search engines appearing in the search box menu. One is Yahoo and the other is Yahoo! (with the explanation mark). It appears the Yahoo! has hijacked my browser as I am unable to remove it by using the manage search engine option. While it appears to be removed, when I close Firefox I get a message that says a program blocked its removal. Please tell me what I need to do to remove this bogus search engine as it redirects me to what appear to be legit Yahoo pages saying words that I never typed could not be found. Interestingly, the redirects do not occur for all websites I visit. Use most or all of the listed programs. If one program misses something, another may catch it. Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

We have the best smileys for facebook, Skype and Yahoo.Yahoo has admitted that personal information from at least 500 million user accounts has been stolen, in what may be the largest-ever publicly-announced data breach.

If you think you may have been affected you should urgently change your password - here's what else you can do to protect yourself from this and other high-profile hacks. The internet giant claims a "state-sponsored actor" is responsible for the hack, which occurred in late 2014. It says information including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, 'hashed' (ie, encrypted) passwords and security questions and answers were taken. Full passwords, payment card data and bank account info weren't targeted. How do I know if I've been hacked? Yahoo says it's now notifying users who may have been affected by email. However because of the scale of the hack, it's probably safest to assume that if you had a Yahoo account in 2014 it may have been compromised, and to take action to protect yourself accordingly. If you want to be sure the email you've received is definitely from Yahoo, it's helpfully published the email contents.website allows you to check if an email address has been compromised in a number of large-scale hacks, including major breaches at LinkedIn and Myspace, and more recently Dropbox.

So far the details of the accounts involved haven't surfaced, and according to HaveIBeenPwned?�creator Troy Hunt, we might never see it. Usually the data will be made public so the hackers can make money out of it, but because this is rumoured to be a state sponsored hack there might not be the same appeal for the data to be public. Commenting on the data breach Troy Hunt said: "All the same usual good practices apply: create strong unique passwords (preferably with a password manager like 1Password) and turn on multi step verification. Do it on all your online assets too, not just Yahoo." A password manager can help you keep track of all your passwords. 1Password�has a free version and good ratings � or see Martin's�Password help�blog for more options.

Yahoo says that anyone who's affected or believes they could be should immediately change their password and security questions and answers.

Crucially, you should do this not just for your Yahoo account but for any other accounts you have which may have used the same info - a big risk with this kind of data breach is that hackers could use personal data from the hacked account to access your other accounts. A list of security tips published by Yahoo also urges users to: Yahoo says it has invalidated unencrypted security questions and answers so they won't be able to be used to access your account. Yahoo has also suggested using Yahoo Account Key to avoid having a password altogether. It works by linking your Yahoo account with your mobile phone so when you sign in you'll only need to enter your username and Yahoo will send a notification to your phone and you can approve the log in from there. Yahoo has said that no one�s bank details have been compromised in the hack if you want to be absolutely certain you should take a good look at your account statements and check your credit file to make sure there's been no fraudulent activity on any of your accounts.
