YOOG has taken over both IE and Firefox? This happened to me yesterday after downloading files from Limewire. This is what i did to remove it. First i uninstalled limewire (only because this is how i got infected)
First i went to add and remove programs and completly uninstalled Mozzila Firefox including Thunderbird. then i went to search files and typed in mozzila,firefox,thunderbird.
even after uninstalling them i still had a couple of files in my C.drive-documents and settings-all users-Mozilla. this i deleted then emptied the recycle bin. then run another search in all files and folders to make sure there was nothing showing. re booted typed in mozilla in the IE search bar downloaded the latest version, installed and now everything is back to the way it was befour.
Although i am no computor buff i did ask my webmaster about it and it was he that told me what to do. It worked for me so im sure it will for you. All i can say is that i will not be useing Lime wire again.
I do wish you luck please let me know if it has worked for you also.
