Browser redirect issues are often caused by browser hijackers or adware. These potentially unwanted programs usually access your computer during the installation of free programs you download from third-party sites, so we highly advise you read the installation instructions carefully - pick Advanced/Custom settings, remove all the ticks from pre-ticked boxes, decline all the deals/offers, etc.
Although all your searches are redirected to Yahoo, it does not mean that the issue can be attributed to the company itself - Yahoo is a large IT organization that is reputable.
However, it is a browser hijacker that inserts sponsored links and ads into your searchers and uses the Yahoo search engine for that. Unfortunately, there are thousands of programs that can be attributed to a browser hijacking that directs users to Yahoo.
The best way to find out is to check the Programs and Features section on your Windows machine, or the Applications folder if you are using macOS - simply get rid of everything you don't remember installing. If you are unsure about this process, please refer to our Yahoo redirect virus removal guide.
Good luck,
