Hi, okay then run spybot, you can download it here, http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10194058.html?tag=lst-0-2 After you run it and it still does not work, then there is an actual removal tool from serachalot that will remove it for you. The Adwatch is something that will only work if you buy the professional version of Adaware, it does not work in the free version.

Hello Josh: I downloaded Adaware 6.0 And ran it . However there is no change in my yahoo page status.
The ad aware program says Ad-watch not loaded. Could that make a difference?

It sounds like you have some spyware on your computer. If you go here and download Adaware http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10214379.html?tag=lst-0-1 install and run and make sure you check for updates, if they have any available then download them. If that does not get rid of your home page problem then let us know.
