    remove the following files yieldmanager.com
    yieldmanager.txt
    yieldmanager

    spybot should do it also - run the update then scan your pc.

    Most likely you have spyware. Try running spybot again.

    Also do this to see if something changed your hosts table.

    If you have window xp go to start > run.
    Then paste this into there:

    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

    Now locate the file that says host and open it with notepad.

    Now check in there to see if you see anything that has walmart.com
    If it does then that means its redirecting you to a diffrent website.

    By the way since you have spybot youre going to have a bunch of entries in the host table. PM if you have any questions.
