    Good evening,

    Before I can provide you with an answer, I would like to ask for some clarifications:
    - Do you want to remove Yahoo from your computer?
    - Do you want to remove the search tool?
    - Something else?

      Hello,

      Sorry for my slight delay. If you are on Windows, Yahoo may be installed by default, so you might need to dig a little deeper than your personal files.
      Without wanting to panic you, while searching Google a bit, I found similar issues, and from what I understand, this is due to a virus. Do you have antivirus software?
      Maybe this will help you:

        I clarify that the fact that it is installed by default has nothing to do with the virus hypothesis, and furthermore, I believe that this version of events is completely erroneous.

      Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, I have an antivirus; if it is installed by default, I have nothing to fear, that’s good. Thank you again for being patient; I am elderly and I am not an expert.
