I assume you are talking about the Yahoo Toolbar? You can try:

View > Toolbar > UNCHECK the Yahoo Toolbar


If you don't see the Yahoo Toolbar there, you can try to remove it from your Add/Remove Programs option in the PC.

I tried this first. My problem is that nothing shows up under "Extensions". There's lots under add-ons :-(
