Hello. Over the last weeks I noticed whenever I go to any link or page on the yahoo website, it has hrsd.yahoo.com the the site address.
I don’t know what this hrsd yahoo is-can anybody help, is it a spyware. I ran Avast Grimefighter and it didn’t flag it up or remover it, I’ve re-set my browser,cleared cache and cookies-all the normal housework to keep my system clean. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
follow instructions…attach Malwarebytes and OTL logs http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
seems it may be yahoo irland http://hsrd.yahoo.com.ipaddress.com/
Thanks for the replies so far, would you say it’s safe if all the info shows its linked to Yahoo? does it look like a threat? Thanks.
does it look like a threat?If you attach the requested logs a malware expert will find out if you have anything in there that should not be there
Hello,
I followed your instruction, I already had Malwarebytes installed so I ran this with the instructions you gave, unfortunately the computer crashed and when I re-booted I had the blue screen. I restarted as normal-everything seems ok. deleted Malwarebytes because I don’t know if this gave me the problem. I had just previously upgraded my malwarebytes (I had a package for 29,99 and they offered a free upgrade. This upgrade gave me the dashboard etc like in your images above.
Any other clues? this hsrd prefix is still there whenever I hover over any yahoo link or page on their homepage.
Thanks guys.
Regards, John.

So now I have an explanation about hrsd yahoo. Please see the link below.
It seems it is not a virus or bug but is yahoo controlled.
