Suddenly, when I open either Firefox or Internet Explorer my home page defaults to Yahoo Español rather than Yahoo in English. What is going on?

Starting a week ago whenever I open Firefox ( and Internet Explorer) the home page defaults to Yahoo Español rather than my regular www.yahoo.com. Even when I type in www.yahoo.com, it defaults to yahoo Español. What is causing this and how do I fix this?

Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":


Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.

Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

You can also do a check for a rootkit infection with TDSSKiller.
