getting rid of YOPmail
This morning YOPmail showed up on my windows 10 foxfire as a pinned tab. It claims to be an extension (chrome). Nowhere does anyone say it is malicious...but I want it gone and nowhere is there instructions on how to remove it...I have contacted the dev. we'll see...
It is my business computer and I don't like software, apps, code, extensions or add-ons that i cant get rid of.
Any help would be appreciated.

Since that isn't a firefox software you might have to go online and search YOPmail and see if anyone found a way to remove or uninstall it.
I appreciate your help.
I did that already...Even contacted some of the people that reviewed it over the years as well as one of the well known magazine / download sites and asked them why they promoted and offered a hack; and that they might want to offer info on uninstalling...
If it is an installed extension then see:
Thank you...did that as well...searched HD...nothing...
Then this would resort to a computer shop to see what is happening to figure what to do next.
Do these links help? https://www.bing.com/search?q=remove+YOPmail
You may have ad/mal-ware.

Run most or all of the listed free to use malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
Fred,
I saw those earlier, but those are fixes for youmail...sounds like that's a subscription/account system. YOPmail has no subscriptions, no settings wheel.
I ran search and destroy this am. I'll try malware later.
thanks everyone
I went and used google to search YOPmail malware and found articles about it what did you find that didn't help identify this software or issue?
me too. Found out what it was but not how to remove it...
The Searches or Computer Shop is your options at this point in time.
