search engine functionsHow do you restore the Yahoo Search Engine functions after it was affected by a virus ?

I want to know how the Yahoo Search Engine can be restored to normal when a spyware and/or other viruses affected the system. I have been downloading some anti-spyware programs, such as Spybot, to reverse the effects and I want to know what applications I can used to turn the search engine back to normal. I have my Yahoo Search Engine results mixed with different web addresses. Thanks.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and i fixed it without installing anything. It's a virus called "go.googlesearch engine functions". I tried installing stuff and still didn't work. The next steps worked for me so I guess this is the best way.

Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show Hidden Devices.

Scroll down to “Non-plug and Play Drivers” and click the plus icon to open those drivers.

Then search for “TDSSserv.sys”

Right click on it, and select “Disable”

Note: If you select Uninstall, it will install itself again when you reboot the system, so DON’T select Uninstsearch engine functionsall.

Restart your pc.

You can now update your Antirus/Malware/Rootkit softwares and the go.google rubbish will stop.

Hope this helps as much as it helped me. That virus is REALLY annoying. = )
