Computer help please!!
Can someone please tell me why my yahoo home page keeps keeps going to Yahoo Mobile?

I have router, but don't go to yahoo using it. I have it password protected so I don't think anyone's hacking it.

My home page shows to just be yahoo, not yahoo mobile.....

I tried what you suggested SHR, this didn't help.

I did a reboot, when the computer first came back up it wen to the regular yahoo site, then after a minute or so went back to mobile.

Re: Computer help please!!
OK, this is really pissing me off.

I've looked into everything you suggested SHR and still this happens:

1. when I click on "Home" it goes to www.yahoo.com
2. After about a minute if I click "Home" again it goes to "m.www.yahoo.com/".
3. I see no place to get back to the regular yahoo page, or the page without the "mobile" part.
4. Home page under tools is www.yahoo.com
5. The only real clue I have is this, when I use my Ipod to access our wireless internet it will sometimes change the desktop CPU's homepage to yahoo mobile, I NEVER go to yahoo on my Ipod now because of this. My wifi is password protected so I don't think (could be wrong) anyone else is accessing it.

OK, got it figured out.

I installed windows updates and it seems to have done the trick.

Thanks for all the help.
