I'm going through a bit of an (rather annoying) issue whenever I search for things on yahoo.com. I think that my computer's been infected with some weird search engine redirect virus?! Whenever I go to yahoo.com to search for things I'll type what I want to search for in the box, click on the 1st (or any) of the yahoo search results, then after clicking on a yahoo search result a blank website will show up & then I'll be redirected to some random ad webpage which shows information that is totally unrelated to whatever I was searching for on yahoo.com. Even weirder about this virus is that it only affects yahoo.com for some reason, as I can search for anything on google.com without running into this problem at all.

I run the latest version of the Firefox Internet Explorer. With Firefox you can see a little, mini, icon/avatar picture located to the left next to the website address bar that's a logo for whatever website you're currently on. Whenever I search for things on yahoo.com & the blank (search engine redirect virus) page shows up these are the two icon/avatar pictures that show up to the left of the website address bar:
