Help removing Genieo?

My wonderful husband downloaded something last night and now this is on his computer. It's not in the program files so I can't uninstall it. It says "Yahoo (By Genieo)" and has changed the whole look of webpages. It shows up as an add-on but will not allow me to click on the remove button. Not sure what else I can do. They obviously want to make it hard to remove.

    Sounds like Malware or Adware, try using a malware or adware scanner to remove it. The best one out there is Malwarebytes, you can download it for free from download.com which i believe is CNET.com.
