Something like tools -> options -> manage add-ons. Yahoo will also tell you how to uninstall.

If you mean VLC rather than VCL, it doesn't come packaged with Yahoo! Toolbar or anything else, nor does it change your homepage. If you didn't download it from one of the site's mirrors, you might want to check your computer for general embuggerances, and think what else you downloaded recently.

Some of these pesky toolbars can be removed through add/delete programs in Control Panel.
If not, you can still show/hide browser toolbars by right clicking the toolbar area and selecting which toolbars you want to see.

Certainly sounds like a download of VLC from the wrong place. Mine came without any 'extras'.
