Highlight & Right Click Text On Webpage Shows "Search With Yahoo! Search"

PAB · Feb 2, 2013

Good afternoon,

When I highlight text on a webpage and then Right Click it shows "Search with Yahoo! Search" just below Print preview....
I can't seem to get rid of it.
I don't have Yahoo Toolbar or anything Yahoo installed that I can find.
I have run CCleaner and Advanced System Care etc.
Any ideas will be greatfully accepted.

Kind regards,
PAB

Welcome
You most likely have your default search engine set to Yahoo. Mine is set to Google and when I right click I get the option to search with Google. If you do not want to have Yahoo appear, change your default search engine to Bing, Google or some other.

Thanks for the reply Richard,

My I.E.9 is set to open on the Google Homepage.
I have been into Tools, Internet Options, Search, Settings, Search Providers and disabled "Search with Yahoo! Search" but it still appears strangely enough!
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
PAB

Not that I can find!
I am always careful when downloading and such like to thoroughly look before I click next in case of Toolbars and other stuff etc.
