Cannot remove search.yahoo.com from my IE browser

[plwj]

I have already tried several things to get rid of "search.yahoo.com" as my IE10 Browser Search engine.

 

1. I have change the default URL under internet options.

2. I have disabled all my Managed Add ins

3. I have run the following PC Cleaners: 1. Microsoft Security Essentials, 2. Advanced SystemCare 7 and 3. MalwareBytes 1.7. All finding no problems.

 

What else do I need to do to remove search.yahoo.com?

 

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Well, my search.yahoo.com issue has been resolved!

 

I am using Advanced System Care 7 and I realized in reviewing some of the Forum postings that ASC7 has taken control of what Search engine I am using. So, I went to the ASC IE Settings and reset it to Google and all is fine now. Yahoo is gone.

 

So, Borislav is there and value in running OTL now/

 

Many thanks for offering to assist me!
