Try making your home page Google and use it to search. If that doesn't work then you need a more knowledgeable person than myself. You bring up internet browser, click on Tools then Internet Options and you will find home page on first tab.

You've been infected by a backdoor virus that is messing up the Yahoo Search engine in favor of one it's probally installed on your computer somewhere. Virus Scans/Firewalls are a MUST. Keep them updated and scan everything before you open it. Then you won't have to ask these sorts of questions because you will be too busy enjoying your computer. good luck

Im not positive tht this may be causing the problem, but sometimes you need to make sure also that cookies is not turned off, or deleated, as alot of sites require that you have cookies turned on.
