Posted on April 8, 2011 under Yahoo | Leave a comment
I have been with SBCGlobal and decided to get a Yahoo.com address. There is a box that points to the Yahoo symbol at the top left portion of the page THAT WILL SIMPLY NOT GO AWAY. It says, “Do you use the Yahoo! Toolbar on multiple computers”. I have rebooted and every time I log in to my new email this box appears and I am unable to close it. Please HELP!
