How do I get rid of "Yahoo! Search - Web Search" that comes up in address bar every time I click on a new tab? I have to delete it in order to go to the site I want. Very annoying. I can not find it in program file.

Got this fixed.

I deleted Yahoo as a search engine.

To do this: on the right hand side of a toolbar there is a pull down menu which contains "manage search engines". Select this and remove "Yahoo".

BTW: the "Tools" - "Options" - "remove hardware acceleration.. " did not work.
