it is trying to add itself and it wants me to click the bar at the top to add it in, i think it is something yahoo isnt aware of and they need to tell the fools to get off of the yahoo sites

and by the way this add on permission bar only shows up on yahoo sites, I have spybot search and destroy and spyware blaster ad aware pro and pest patrol , I am not about to allow this freak company in either but it is only on yahoo sites (hint, hint)

All I can say on this one is that, it has targeted all the yahoo Pages only and It has gone away temprarily, I am sure. I havent added it and you can bet i have been on long enough to know not to.

you must have downloaded something that put adware on your PC.

Sounds like Adware or spyware that installed without you knowing it. That happens if you have installed anything recently from a 3rd party no name company..

Go into the Add-on manager in Internet Options and see if this is listed in it. If it is you can disable it there.
Tools>Internet Options>Program tab>Manage Add on button.
Also check in All Programs and see if it is listed. If so check it for an Uninstall option. You can check in Add/Remove Programs and see if it is listed. If so remove it.

it is a trojan horse come to steal data and occupy space on your machine.. don't do anything secure or that may give away your personal data till you have it killed, which may be hard to do.. I had to completely scrub mine to get rid of it.. Komando.com may have some free downloads to kill it.
