No. I use Firefox and I don't have any yahoo addon, plugin, toolbar or
whatever.
I dont' have any default search engine set as such - and I generally use
google.
I very rarely use yahoo... but (strange as that may be) I shall check if
something has installed itself without my knowing.

Yes, I had noticed that. But faulty code should lead to "file not
found", not to an unrelated page.
I have tried with another browser. It still redirects to an unrelated
page, but it's a different one (and it isn't yahoo).
So, after all, it doesn't seem to be a yahoo scam, only malfunction
caused by bad code.
But it's irritating that the key link is the one that doesn't work.
I guess I shall have to give up... or keep chasing the
associatedcontent.com webmaster.
Anyhow... thank you. :)
