Hello @OPIE
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
Sorry for the late response..
This issue could very well be a Browser Redirect which can cause havoc in many ways. May I ask which browser you are using? This also might be considered a PUA .
But my best advise is to please Submit a Support Ticket as they will be able to assist you. Free of charge with a Webroot subscription.
Good luck and if you have a moment please let us know if this was resolved for you or not.

Hi Ssherjj -
Thanks so much for your response. You were absolutely correct,as my problem was in fact
a BROWSER REDIRECT. Having not heard of one,I typed it and yahoo sent me to 'MALWARE TIPS'.
I followed the elaborate instructions and voila........problem solved ! Google is back and Firefox is running better than ever.
This was quite the learning experience,and with my additional research,I'm better able to
evaluate trouble and problem solve. Your assistance gave me an understanding of how things
work and makes being online more enjoyable.
Joining the Webroot Community was a smart move indeed,and I'm very happy to be a part of it.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for your help.

I have not had any luck finding information on this. Could you all direct me to some instructions? My Google is getting redirected to Yahoo in Safari.
