    My IE browser gets redirected when I try to go into certain sites. The site "finance.yahoo.com" is one of them. It redirects to a Dell Search Page and displays "Sorry, we couldn't find http://ad.yieldmanager.com/pixel%3Fid%3D343459." I ran through the complete malware removal process but am still getting redirected. Please help. I have attached 4 of the 5 logs to his post and will attached the final log next.

    This is not truely malware. You need to run CCleaner as well as remove all internet explorer cache items. If you have URL Assistant installed, uninstall it.

    You may also want to read the below thread where yieldmanager was also discussed.

    Thank You! I had recently ran the CCCleaner and removed the internet explorer cache items with no success. The key was the removal of the URL Assistant. Once I removed that, I am no longer being redirected. Once again, thanks for your help.
