Hello Mr C. Last night I downloaded the latest windows updates, KB890830 malicious software removal tool and KB950749 security update. Much to my surprise, when I loggen on tonight I found a msg on the screen that said that the malicious software removal tool had found a problem and removed it. It said it was Trojan:w32/alureon.gen. I never heard of that one before. Anyway the yahoo pages seem to be working normally again and I was able to load the games that had their .exe altered. I went ahead and disabled SearchAssistantOC from MS ActiveX Control anyway. I havent done anything with the regedit info you sent. Do you think I should do it anyway? So far, everything is working well and normally. If the Win update actually did solve the issue I still want to thank you for taking the time and effort to help me. Y'all provide a much needed and appreciated service and I thank you immensely. I think it takes a great deal of knowledge to troubleshoot someones PC problems over the net JD
