Tried installing what i thought was a legit file, turns out it was PC OPTIMIZER PRO/OPERA/YAHOO (why cant firefox make fix for this "force install" crap.. or windows a "black list" for this crap... any way these were force installed on my pc, was able to get rid of "pc Optimizer pro / Opera" but YAHOO is still lurking somewhere.. I USE GOOGLE LIKE THE REST OF THE PLANET! But no matter what i do i cant uninstall this crap.. tried deleting plugins folder C:\program files (x86)\Mozilla\browser/plugins or what ever it is.. also removed YAHOO from my settings... and its still forcing me to use yahoo as my search provider.

Try the following:

this was the first thing i tried, fixed it here is how (SURE FIRE WAY TO GET RID OF IT. TIRED OF SIFTING THROUGH USELESS POSTS TO FIGURE THIS OUT? HERE IS THE LEGIT FIX!)

open firefox.

go to Settings > Options > Search

un-check every search engine

change the "default search engine" to the engine of your choice and close firefox.

next go to Start > Run > regedit

Click search box and type "yahoo" it will take you to the folder containing the registry for "yahoo" delete the whole folder.

restart firefox.

Check to be sure it worked, (you may need to reset the "default search engine" again.)
