Hi, I consider myself a bit of dunce with PCs but usually manage to do what I need but I'm really stuck on removing Ad.yieldmanager. Its supposed to be a cookie but after deleting cookies, temp files, scans with AVG , defender, malwarebytes and checking other sites I'm at a loss. Im running vista on a laptop and the fan is driving me mad. Any ideas?.......... please
Anyone had Ad.yieldmanager?

Have you run Adaware yet?

keep going for the free one even though they try to lead you to the paid-for version free trial page
It is safe, free and recommended.

Tried the free one which picked up a more stuff than AVG but Ad.yieldmanager is still there. I can see it briefly pop up on the progress bar when on IE8.

Ive already done that which prevents pop ups but reading other sites its supposed to be 'like' a cookie but acts as spyware. It does not seem to be malware or spyware so the anti software doesnt pick it up. If that makes sense.
If it is only a tracking cookie:

This shows you how to block it in your browser settings, once you get rid of it.
