All of the sudden no matter what I do and how many times I reset a home page and then click home page it goes back to yahoo search engine which a note under give full version of yahoo a try.



I do not have yahoo installed nor would I for any reason.

Yahoo, over the weekend, was hit bad by malware attacks.  Here's one of many links talking about it.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/01/05/yahoo-servers-malware-attack/4327041/

I would do a complete virus scan.  Run MalWarebytes first to see if it picks up the malware.

Not sure this is it, but I'd run a scan anyways. 

Good Luck.

I run my security stuff daily and nothing. Will continue to work on the problem.
In fact when I click the little arrow next to the home icon the following shows up which I find interesting since it shows this pages url options : 1]use this page as your only home page 2]add this page to your home page tabs 3]use the current tab as your home page. And digital storm is not my home page.

Good to hear.    It did sound like something messing with you. When suspicious, I run my primary Virus program, then Avast, Malwarebytes, and sometimes a fourth.
