Use Mozilla firefox for browsing, use the adblock extension and just add this to your adblock filter:

fe.shortcuts.search.yahoo.com / script ? f r = csc_fin_pf

That is it - no more underlining, no more popups on double clicking a word etc. on yahoo finance websites.

Note: remove the spaces, yahoo won't let me post the link without spaces.

MS Internet Explorer Internet options > Security > Restrict (block) the web site that is buried in the yahoo news pages:
http://l.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.c…
but that also blocks yahoo news video clips.
