I had this problem and ended up doing a system restore and running my
antivirus program to get rid of it.

Check you add/remove programs in Control panel, see if anything from Yahoo
has installed itself.

There has been a change in your registry and probably by a special malware
class known as a hijacker. I have one here too and can't seem to rid myself
of it. These things hide in a variety of ways but in my case it seems to be
something that starts up when booting, changes the registry before spybot
comes up. When I change the home page address once the computer is running
Spybot notifies me that a registry entry has been changed and asks to permit
the change, obviously the hijacker doesn't trigger spybot when it makes the
change.
I can delete the entry which, in my case appears to be MSN directly in the
registry using regedit but again, next time I boot the registry is changed.
Get out there and begin Web surfing, try hijacker in your browser query.
I have been trolling the Web with google and attempting all sorts of stuff
but without success. I will admit that I worry a bit about some of the
offered downloads particularly many of those which come up as sponsored
links on google, it is my experience that people who pay to offer help
expect and will get paid far more in exchange but maybe I am too skeptical.
Spybot and AVG have not been able to help me and neither have a half dozen
other efforts so far.
Good luck.
