Bill,

You may definitely be correct. But does SBC Yahoo actually use a separate browser or some weird interface to IE like AOL does? I didn't think that was the case.

A lot of times, ISP's just add a line into the registry that makes the ISP name show up in the title bar of the browser.

You might look and see if they've added some BHO's to your computer. Primarily, Yahoo! toolbar or some special SBC toolbar could potentially cause problems when shutting down if the toolbar is not closing properly.

I primarily only use the Google toolbar. The SBC/Yahoo and Netzero toolbars I see people with on here a lot are not required to use the internet provider's service.

You can see a list of BHO's on your computer by scanning with HijackThis (google for the software).

If you post a log file from your scan for me, I can tell you if there is some other thing that might be causing the problem.
