I have a gray bar under most visited sites that has a yahoo logo to the left and then a square with a x inside of it. when you type in the search bar, like sr-71 click search it will display websites to select from. then when you select one of those it starts coming up with all these adds, videos and etc. I have tried every thing to get rid of this. I am very upset with this problem. 

If I go to my bookmarks and select a site I have saved it goes right to it.

What is this and how do I stop this. 

 I need detailed instructions for this. Charles Storie

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
