Yahoo redirect - Please do a manual uninstall and do not download anything but Malwarebytes.
See if the below helps. I would scroll down to the below or you might fall asleep.

I would uninstall Bitdefender. It tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit unless you work with Windows files. Most long time posters recommend not using antivirus software or cleaning software such as CleanMyMac. They can adversely affect normal computer operation.
