ad.yieldmanager.com Removal Guide

Thank you so much for this! I was going out of my mind when my 'Norton Security Scan' found a 'ad.yieldmanager' cookie on my computer, and couldn't get rid of it; lucky I came across this!

I have downloaded and run your ad.yieldmanager.com scanner, and done everything on this web page, but I do not find any files that contain the word "yieldmanager". Yet I still am getting the security warning pop-ups about ad.yieldmanager.com, and usually a pair, one after the other, each time. I think there is another, more sinister type of cookie used by these guys, that either corrupts an existing file, or hides itself by using an innocuous name. I have run AdAware, Spybot, and Avast, and gotten rid of anything questionable, but still this thing plagues me. Any more ideas?

Heather, 

Cookies are not so dangerous. They usually collect and report information about what websites you visit and what you do at those websites. If you are getting warning pop-ups, it is a sign that you may have some other spyware on your computer. You said that you used many programs and they didn't help you to get rid of this parasite. Sometimes it happens, if the programs don't have the latest updates for particular parasite. If you would have a reliable anti-spyware program, you could contact the support team and they would solve your problem.

I tried all that + AVG Antispyware + SuperAntiSpyware. Every program found stuff, and I also got rid of everything questionable. I still continue to be plagued with these ad.yieldmanager.com adverts that replace existing ads at various websites, like IMDb.com, in both Firefox & IE. One ad even has an annoying chime. If you find an answer please post, as I will do if I find a solution. Thanks.

Is there some way to SUE the bastards who did this.....I never asked for it or approved it....

I agree with mr callahan above...surely its illegal? I have never understood why they are allowed to persist in these activity... if anyone knows where we stand it would be great if you could enlighten ..... regards slower pc

I have also downloaded, installed, run numerous anti-spyware +antivirus programs without luck. They all find the problem, apparantly clean the problem and as soon as I get back on the net it comes back - all kinds of ads including Gladiatus. I took my pc to the local shop for professional removal, they said it was done I got it home and it was back in 1 minute. There has to be some way of removing this thing. If not could I at least strangle the bastard punks and lowlifes that wrote the bloody thing?!!!!

CAN ANY ONE HELP ME GET RID OF THIS I AM VERY COMPUTER DUMB SO IT HAS TO BE SPELLED OUT PRETTY SIMPLE BUT I DO NO THAT ad.yieldmanager.com SUCKS RICK

Everytime I sign into my email...this page comes up Help

i already had a spyware that detected the ad.yieldmanager.com on my computer but it gave me directions on how to remove it. thanks alot

Please help me!! I cannot check my email b/c everytime i try, it redirects me to this ad.yieldmanager.com. I cannot get around it. I have tried everything on this page and had no success. I have no clue where this came from or how to get rid of it. Please help!

I cannot read my email because it keeps going to the ad yieldmanager

I have bought Error Smart and "removed" ad.yieldmanager.com and still it is there. What elce can I do? If this cookie can trace my actions , why is it allowed? Is it no different than looking in windows? How do I get rid of this plague?

I HAVE HAD THE FIGHT WITH YIELDMANAGER.....I WENT IN TO MY TEMP FILES TO FIND IT AND DELETE IT.....BUT BEFORE I DID THAT I CLICKED ON PROPERTIES AND GOT THE URL, THEN PASTE IN BROWESER TO FIND OUT HOW I GOT IT....IT WAS FROM THE ADD IN YAHOO PAGE.....AND COOKIES FROM THE ADVERTISE IN YAHOO.....I SET MY PRIVACY HIGH SO WHEN I WENT TO YAHOO, I HAD TO ALLOW COOKIES....THEN WENT BACK TO PRIVACY AND THERE WAS YIELDMANAGER AGAIN WITH THE ALLOW CHECKED ON IT......SO HOW DO WE GET YIELDMANAGER?......WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS FROM THE ADVERTISE ON THE PAGE FROM YAHOO....AND MOST LIKLY ANY ADVERTISE PAGE......PUT THANKS TO THIS PAGE I CAN KEEP IT OFF MY COMPUTER. IM LOOKING FOR EMAIL WITH NO ADVERTISEMENT........WHO KNOWS A GOOD ONE? PLEASE POST ONE.......

It's me again.....I found that gmail does not have advertising like yahoo.......my internet business email is yahoo so I need to use it for now. But what I do..and it takes time....is to go in to tempary files and delete yieldmanager every time I use yahoo email........I have found you only need to be on the page for yieldmanager to put a cookie in your temp files.....so when you leave yahoo....go in to temp files and delete yieldmanager...also doubleclick......and any other that is advertising. I also do not use yahoo to browse the web any more......I changed to google........I check my temp files every 30 min.............google is safer and no yieldmanager on it. also if you have to many cookies in your temp file your computer will slow down. so to say if you go to a page that has advertising, the advertiser of that add has put yieldmanager tracking cookie with the add to see if you have been there. You just have to keep deleting it. since I have found all this out my computer runs fast. I have a 3.0 processor and 320G hard drive......I would say is learn how to keep your computer clean. The sad thing is yahoo must know about this and is allowing it.

i cannot type the letter 'y' and it keeps on repeating when i want to type, i always have to paste it all the time.someone told me it's the yield manager. please how can i remove it

So, How do we check yahoo mail without getting it? Thanks.

this is ridiculous. every one online says to scan this thing with spy ware and remove it. and most these places cost money. I pay a good price for panda anti virus so my problems is not as bad as most people. I too use gmail. yahoo is too gross to use anymore. i found that walla.com has good email but not as good as gmail. google has an entire association online of spam haters etc... its been against it from day one and they have a zero policy. you would think microsft would of released a removal tool for this or some kind of information. not even norton is helping with this issue. they say oh its just a cookie. whatever! not just a cookie. its a hi jack device that once you get it, it keeps comming back. I am going to go digging in my registry and see if I can find it and delete it. those cookies come back regardless. I think i am about to tear up my registry and try to remove it permenantly that way. i do have the yahoo tool bar and the anti spy on it. doesn't do anything. the blasted thing comes back. i cant stand this anymore. i will be damn, dead and rotten before i allow that company to high jack my computer. I will call my lawyer tomorrow and we if we can start a pettion online and make them stop using that kind of inbedded cookie or provide a removal from their site. Its happened before with other compnies including that really old crodidile password gadget from 1998 and 1999. I remember that one. Eventually the company provided help and aid to those who were tortured by this masked vandal. I will let you know what I find if I succeed on the removal. if seems to be in a form of a trojan from what i understand. so it is considered kind of a confusing little virus. it inbeds its self in different ways and literally takes over the use of you PC. its no wonder I am more of a windows refugee than a lover. I only have one system with windows vista ulitmate. All my other computers are xandros.com and linux based. I dont think it matters on the speed of your pc either. i a 6000 + processor, 4 drives. 3 terybites. 8 gigs of ram. Balony! this things is in so many places online. microsoft or as i call it, microshit, should help out. they have in the past for things like this. I can't believe how people think its not a big deal when it is. anything taking over your pc is not a good thing. I dont want them recording my passwords also and taking me to other sites. I have 3 pop up blockers on. one from panda. one from yahoo. and one in the microshit browser. this beast get through everything. it doesn't care what you have. i think its a trojan acting as a cookie. i can't stand it. will have info hopefully soon that I can share.

Every day I turn on antivirus prog. and it find ad.yieldmanager cookies and delete it , Also I shocked when my e_mail contacts changed makes me a problems sending e_mails , From where it comes? How can I get red of it . I am afriad about my personal informations
