Got a Trojan! Got rid of same. Got a Yahool Toolbar. Me pissed.

My own fault. I wasn't paying attention to the McAfee green arrows and clicked on something I shouldn't have and have been down for a couple of days. I was too sick to deal with it so went without my computer since Sunday. Spent 3 hours on the phone with Dell while they cleaned the infection out. All my files are safe (THANK YOU, GOD--and Dell!). Cost me $129 but it was worth it!

However, I now have this friggin' Yahoo toolbar installed on my Firefox and I detest Yahoo and do NOT want their friggin' toolbar. Anyone know how to get rid of the damned thing?

Never mind. Found the uninstall, now have to reboot.

Hate rebooting now. All I got for 2 days was a black screen with a flashing cursor sign. It's amazing how Dell can do everything remotely! Little worrisome since you never know if they could get some psycho working for them.... Sounds like the plot for a short story!
