Answer:
I know Yahoo is undergoing a lot of changes that may effect some things, such as My Yahoo. (I've noticed no current updates as well). But, in my case, I have specific topics from certain sources that I want updates on, and if they don't post anything new, then there will be no new updates. The other part sounds like you picked up a "search redirect virus". About the search redirect, it is best removed with a Spyware Remover Software. In this link, (although it speaks of just Google) it goes over some stuff you can do your own, but does state that if could not be totally removed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5842581_remove-google-redirect-virus.html Some people use the free AVG software to remove (although I don't know success rate) http://avg.com/ This is a forum about with links to threads about the issue (just to know you're not by yourself) http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=6df7e15519290612&hl=en Also, do you have a lot of extra Toolbars? Sometimes these extras bring along search redirects. It might just be easier to take your computer to a tech and have them remove it (should not be more than a basic service fee, ask upfront) And one thing that is always suggested, is to either type the link into the browser or "copy and paste it" into the browser, rather than hit the link.
