search engine malware

I think I have a search engine virus. I keep getting redirected to search.yahoo even though I've got my search engine set for Google. What can I do?

Remove or disable any browser extensions you don't recognize, or click here and run the tool.

search engine No matter which browser I use, safari, chrome, firefox, the automatic search engine is yahoo which I be believe is a possible virus. It looks like for roughly 2 seconds it generates a google search and then automatically switches to yahoo, I went into my preference settings and set each browser to google and turned off "include search engine suggestions". I do not know what is causing this.
