Search engine
Somehow my computer has downloaded a search engine called yoog and it has
made it so that it is the default and I cannot delete it under internet options. I thought maybe it was an addon from google so I uninstalled google but it is still there making itself the default search engine. I want rid of this thing and cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it. Can someone help? |

I'm having the same problem with regard to the Yoog search engine that has
installed itself on my computer somehow. I can every file I download, so I'm not sure where it came from. At any rate, the solution listed at the URL you provided won't help me, since I don't have exactly the same problem. There's no Contextual SnappyAds anything on my computer. Only Yoog. I've searched other sites, some have suggested removing a file called GlobalAdSolutions, but that file isn't on my computer, either. I'm really fed up with Yoog, because even though I keep making Google my default search engine in the Google toolbar, Yoog keeps overriding my settings. I don't quite understand why Windows Live OneCare or the malware/adware program I use (Trojan Remover) don't remove this particular adware (Yoog). I've searched the web over, hoping to find a solution to this issue, but so far, nothing that has been suggested works. I was even instructed to run ComboFix.exe to try to solve the problem. I ran it, no luck. Any suggestions or assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
