I am constantly redirected from yahoo to the Dell search page,?

Question

this occurs when I'm in 'my yahoo', my address book, mail, or news stories.

Answer 1

This is a known issue with Dell PCs. There is a solution though...

1. Go to your Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs and scroll down to GoogleAFE.
2. Click on it to select it and choose "Uninstall"
3. Once this is finished, click Start, choose "Run..." and in the text box, enter regedit.
4. When the registry editor opens, click on Edit, then Find and enter this string in the search box:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\AFE

If that string is found, highlight it and delete it

Answer 2

Most people with dell, have the same thing going on. Mainly its when the DNS cant find what you typed in, instead of a microsoft, or MSN search page, or Yahoo search page , or the IE's generic cant find server page, it directs you to dell. If this only happens when in these pages, you need to clear your cookies, history and Tempfiles and offline content under IE's tools>>Internet options>>
If it presists.. Contact Dell support, you might have some settings out of wack..

In internet Explorer, bypass to approaches, manage upload-ons. interior the Toolbars and Extensions record, scroll all the way down to the Dell upload-ons. Disable any Dell browser helpers or seek helpers you hit upon there. close internet Explorer and restart it - examine your artwork! I figured this out while my My Yahoo internet site saved getting redirected to a Google/Dell seek internet site. I disabled/re-enabled the Google and Dell upload-ons until eventually i got here across the criminal.
