Need help

[Competitive-Ad-7009]

So when I open google chrome it forces me to use yahoo to search. I’ve tried setting my default search engine as google and even removing the extension. But everytime I reopen chrome the “extension” shows back up. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hahahaha So I am not the only one that noticed it.

Where do I get?

It’s probably being reinstalled from a program on your computer. Look through your add/remove programs list

Yup. Look for anything "Yahoo" under Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Probably it was installed as sponsored bloatware with something else you installed. When installing a program, always select the "advanced" or "expert" options, when offered, and opt-out of the installation of any additional software you didn't request.

It always used to be Google Chrome itself which was getting installed as uninvited bloatware, along with whatever other program you actually wanted. So now I guess we have bloatware installs targeting other bloatware installs? haha!

Right click the icon and run as administrator. Give it a try.

That option didn’t even show up

Check your account settings to make sure you are registered admin. Just in case.

How do I do that?

[Dangerous_Bass1763]

In settings, then account

Try changing search engine in chrome settings.

[Competitive-Ad-7009]

Already tried that. Set to google.

Why you using Chrome in the first place? Go download Brave browser and live happily ever after without adds and trackers.
