Yahoo is hijacking search bar

more options

Google is no longer my default search engine. It was hijacked by Yahoo. I goggled the answer but found no solution. I even deleted yahoo from the search drop down menu and it keeps coming back. If I had a yahoo toolbar I could understand it but I don't.

Also since this happened I get a pop up menu saying your default search engine has been changed. Can't click on that even to change it from there. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Just wanted to add that it is not due to any new addons. Thanks
