Internet Explorer provided by Yahoo!

[Guest]

I mistakenly downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Yahoo! onto my machine when I was just wanting the companion toolbar. Now I have the stupid little yellow "Y" with a purple background on Internet Explorer, Outlook, etc. How do I get back to the standard Microsoft logo and symbols?
