Problem with the redirection email Yahoo after installation of nine updates

I installed the windows updates nine but a few days ago since then have had a problem with the redirection of emails coming into my inbox on my BT Yahoo mail account.

You have not been hacked. Looks that you have installed the malware or adware programs on your hard drive, and it is at the origin of the result of your search be redirected to Yahoo. You have two options to remove:
- Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware for Mac. It was developed by an employee trust and respected here. It is a simple and non-intrusive program that removes malware known/adware from your hard drive. That's all that. It does nothing and is not take anything else. Unlike the antiviruss protection programs, it does not work in the background of your computer, using the resources and also unlike anti-virus programs (which are not necessary on Macs), it is not actively prevent malware infections or adware. Its only purpose is to remove them.
- Restart your computer. As of April 26, 2016, changes to the support article here-> stop the cAds in Safari - Apple charge El Capitan State removes adware when you connect, but only when connecting. So, if you do not want to use Malwarebytes, it's another option for you.
Then go to Safari preferences-> Extensions and remove any that you do not install or you don't need. Then go to Safari preferences-> search, then reset your preferred Google search engine. Finally, go to Safari Preferences-> general and make sure that your home page has not been changed and if she, change it back to what it was before.

Addon to remove redirect links of Yahoo Search
I just started to use Yahoo search, and here an addon that removes the links from the search results and just redirect allows me to click on the URL link. When I was with Google, I used difficulty of Wladimir Palant of link Google Search (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-search-link-fix/?src=userprofile), but it does not work on Yahoo.
Is there such a creature? I tried a couple of these addons that claim to remove the pages redirects, but none have worked on the Yahoo search results.Do you use a Greasemonkey userscripts? For example:

Why I redirected to a Yahoo DNS error page whenever an ad fails to load in a Web site?
Yahoo Solution DNS error handler

We found results because SafeSearch is active and that your request contains certain words limited. Try the suggestions below or enter a new query above.
To search, change your SafeSearch preferences.This started recently popping up when I insert a few news sites. It seems to load the article, and then an ad arrives and fact that the redirection page to this error handler. Yahoo isn't even my default search. I can usually click on the back button and get the site I wanted to, but it is extremely annoying and I don't know what causes it.
Hi boriszcat, the details of your Question > System Details more shows that you are infected with the extension of Searchme.
Open the page modules using either:
- CMD + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, remove or disable Searchme - and anything else that you need not, like the other 3 extensions of Spigot/MyBrowserBar. Keep in mind that all extensions are optional and none is included with Firefox when you get it first.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Is that what helps you regain control?
This could be the tip of an iceberg of malware. When you install free software, you often get the options grouped under silence. I don't know the best way to 'clean up' a Mac of these elements, but you may want to consider the issue.

I recently changed my Chrome Firefox browser. I have Yahoo mail. For a long time, my computer has been right very slow after connecting email Yahoo and my email will be freezes up. Now, with Firefox, when that happens, I'll get a message box that tells me that there is a long script and give me the option to stop it, debugging or let it continue. He also let me to know who is the script of. Most of the time its s.yimg.com/... but today I also received the message box indicating that a slow chome script was running, even though I had no Chrome. I went google to find out what s.yimg.com has been and found several articles about this, mostly indicating that it was a boring, harmful software which redirects searches and eventually titles. Also called a virus by some but others said it was a component integrated into Yahoo. I also read that she was bound with Firefox. Can someone tell me what s.yimg is? It is part of Firefox, or Yahoo, or is this a virus that infects the many applications and processes. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Would appreciate any help I can get.
s.yimg. com is a domain operated by Yahoo. There is no obvious reason to suspect nauseous if you are on a Yahoo site and see the files requested from the s.yimg. com This is not to say that Yahoo could not use it for some scripts/images of follow-up, but completely blocking it break Yahoo so this isn't really an option.
In the script errors does not respond, the ' chrome: / / ' prefix indicates an internal script within Firefox, part of the program or part of an add-on. (Mozilla has long used the chrome of term to describe the UI of the browser, as opposed to content, and another company liked the idea so much they named their browser after him).
We have an article of general support, please see: script is unresponsive warning - what it means and how to fix it.
Another common cause of errors in script fails on Windows Vista is the feature of mode of the Flash player plugin. This feature has the security benefits, but it seems to have serious compatibility problems on some systems. You can disable it using the page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find 'Shockwave Flash' and click on the link for more. Then uncheck the box for "Enable Adobe Flash protected mode" and try it for a day to see if that helps you.

I click on the URL for a specific website (often a Tumblr blog), and the browser automatically redirects me to a Yahoo! search for terms related to this sentence. In some cases, I can click on the back button and it will take me to the site of that origin, I wanted to go, but sometimes is not yet do. It is very annoying. The most common example is when I try to visit the blog gaslightgallows.tumblr.com, which redirects me to the screenshotted search in the image as an attachment.

The only listed modules are the following:
Extensions: Feedly, SearchMe, Trend Micro Toolbar and perhaps Hola but also perhaps not Hola.Searchme is an add-on faucet.
Here's my suggestion: If you do not install or do not recognize an extension, disable it. If nothing is wrong, delete it. All extensions are optional; No ship with Firefox.
You can remove the dossier Spigot completely; This article mentions where it is: http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-spigot/

Hello
Looks like you may have some malware. Please check your add-ons for all suspicious extensions:
- Tools (or
) > Addons > Extensions
- Alternatively, you can type Subject: addons in your address bar and then click on "Extensions".
Delete all suspicious extensions that you find. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause. A useful way to find the culprit is disabling half of your modules, if it redirects is more then the culprit is in the half you off, otherwise it is the left half you activated.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
