    Whatever you have set as your default search engine is not a virus or malware so Malwarebytes is not going to remove it.

    There was probably a pre selected option in McAfee to set Yahoo as your default search engine.

    in the reinstall i read ever part of the small print and never mentioned it, and its not showing up as yahoo search, and internet explorer has always been set as default with bing .. its very confusing
