I think yahoo is invading my privacy,because when i search for stuff on altavista (i use it because it is better in the internactional searching in my opinion) but after a short time all the links go to yahoo.com... i was clicking on a link to a picture of DNA when *BAM* www.yahoo.com. I am not amused. Does anyone here know why this happens/how to stop it/ or who i can sue to make it stop?

Yahoo bought Alta Vista
Like many buy outs they keep the brand name
You might be surprised just how many companies in different industries have multiple brands owned by one company

Maybe because Yahoo owns Altavista?

Sue? You want to sue to make Yahoo! stop popping up? Sure. Sue. File it in federal court. Prepare to pay Yahoo!'s attorney's fees after you lose.
Better yet - why don't you wrap your head in tin foil so Yahoo! can't suck out your thoughts remotely....
