I have watched multiple video's, yours also didn't work and I wanted to click away. Then you said "if it didn't work" and you came with a nother solution wich did worked. thanks for making this helping video
yw
This is so simple thanks bro
No problem 👍
I had this problem, absolutely was confused and ran a whole malware check, glad to see a new video made in case the problem happens but haven't downloaded anything suspicious
I hate when this happens and it does happen quite often like once every month or so.
@@Jay_Rulecan it just randomly happen or do you have to get a program for it to get hijacked
@@badzgaming It doesn't happen randomly. It's probably ads that you accidentally clicked.
@@Jay_Ruledoes it happen from clicking on ads or downloading them, cause I do this so often but I just want it to stay as chrome
It's a possibility but I'm not certain@@TrashEntertainment_hehe
I was freaking out when this happened because I'm like what the fuck did I download when I don't do a lot on here. Resetting it worked. Thank you so much

I've done everything like on video and problem didn't go away... :( When I restart Chrome, problem is back :(
Actually worked without me needing to download some sketchy program
That is why I make RUclips videos lol
THANK YOU SO MUCH BC I LOOKED AT SO MANY VIDEOS AND THEY HAVENT HELPED AT ALL 😭
Thanks for the visit. Please subscribe.
the step at 1.44 wouldn’t work on mine because i don’t have any other option shown than DSR, which is the hijacked website.
i can’t find any toggle options and neither is there any place where i can switch to google.
if somebody can help me, would be wonderful!
haven’t found any comment or video on youtube that is of use to my issue.
OK THANK YOU !!!
Welcome!
Just had this yesterday, no idea how this got on my pc because it's a brand new build. All I had done was install chrome and added ublock.
the way its affecting my pc is i go to search in the actual google crome search bar and then it redirects me to the yahoo search bar instead
It should work now. Try restarting pc
my google part dont exist anymore
Try a restart
tysm!
yw, please subscribe
thanks mate
You're welcome! Please subscribe
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the tip
@@Jay_Rule Yeah bro. Thanks for helping. I wasn’t able to use chrome for the longest time because of this hack. Thanks to you it’s back to normal.
If the problem ever arises again just do the same step and do a pc restart. It would also help to run an antivirus scan.@@gabrielmirandaist
Thanks bro finaly it is over

i dont have an option other than secure search. same with my manage search engines. what should I do?
Did you fix it? Because same problem
THANKSSSSS
yw, please subscribe
This yahoo is terrible, I deleted it but appears again and now used your method. Hope it helps and won’t show any so called “secure”search again.
Everything is on google and I removed bing off of the search engine and it is still as bing I dont know what happend this happened overnight I have not downloaded anything
Try these steps and then do a pc restart
I reset my settings and do everything, Then it pauses me signed in in the top right small icon under the close window tab. Then It works normally.
Then I sign in again and it takes me back to the yahoo thing. Idk what to do.
You have to start a new browser tab each time because the current ones haven't synced or refreshed yet.
@@Jay_Rule Yeah and then when i turn on Sync it keeps doing the mobility search and takes me to yahoo.
@@2OP4Scrubz I've never used sync. What is that? Like sync bookmarks with a cellphone?
@@Jay_Rule no with a PC
@@2OP4Scrubz Sync phone with PC?
does it actually do anything dangerous?
It modifies your browser settings without your knowledge or permission. That's why it's classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUA). Such malware can change your default browser settings, homepage, and the URLs of your new tabs.
Anyone know how to do this for opera gx? I tried to just do the same thing but it didn't work.
Wow, I'm surprised you're still using Opera. Try Googling for a how to.
What if it keeps coming back after one week?
Run antivirus scan
THANKSS BRO IT WORKS ON MEE
Welcome 👍
Thank you for this. How do I permanently remove this malware from my computer? How do o block it?
Try adaware or run a virus scan
Worked, I got it from Fortnite I think, so be wary if your going to download Fortnite on you pc, it will come back though, but this video works every time
restore settings is doing a loop. so I closed the tab & tried a search. For the moment, it searches w/ google. Some of the stuff people tell you is really too much. boot into safe mode, ty, ty, ty
Thanks for the tips. It's a McAfee issue that forces secure search.
I have already done all of that and more and still nothing 😭
What error do you get?
OMG TYSM ILY OMG OMG OMGGGGGG
Please share and subscribe
@@Jay_Rule I will and again tysm
Thank you for some reason yahoo and yandex where there
What's the point of the yahoo thing though? Like what do the scammers get out of it, do they steal your information?
Even though Yahoo is a completely harmless site, redirects to another search engine can be alarming. Search engine changes can signal that malware may have infected your browser.
when i go to search engine it doesnt show secure search?
What does it show? Try a restart.
What is the McAffee thing do? It seems like the hijacker is associated with it.
It's an antivirus software like Norton
It's the program(perhaps free trial) that sets the secure search. Everytime it updates it will set it back to secure search unless you uninstall it. It's not a virus or a hijacker. It's an anti-virus program that makes a few cents for setting your search to secure search.
@@graphicContrast Yes. It's like a safe mode search. McAfee is the creator of this safe search.
how do i stop it from coming back when i restart my computer?
I don't think you can unless you find a way to disable or uninstall McAfee. I've tried but it doesn't show up in the software uninstall list.
This don’t work I’m on opera gx tho it keeps redirecting me to yahoo
Try restarting your pc after performing the steps
So I did this, I even have TWO ANIT VIRUS turned on, and now when I open chrome it opens two tabs one normal and one Yahoo.
I even uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome
Try this: www.malwarefox.com/remove-yahoo-search-from-chrome/
@@Jay_Rule I called me tech Savy uncle and we realized my other settings have been changed to, so I’m just gonna be extra safe and factory reset my PC. I appreciate it though. I’m so confused by what the heck I did though.
@@seranrevere865 This malware isn't that devastating. It will revert back to Google Chrome eventually. Did you update your Google Chrome software? Factory resetting may affect your hardware that you've added to your pc.
@@Jay_Rule I'm not sure what hardware is... But it was effecting other computer settings and wouldn't let me make changes anymore... After the reset it seems to be fine other than now it changes between light and dark mode.
this shit doesnt work ive already done all these steps and nothing has been fixed
Restart chrome or try restarting pc
mine doesn't come up w/ secure search
What does it show?
There is no delet button on my yahoo, nothing works. I dont even have Mcafee, idk how this happened overnight.
You need to make Google the default search engine before you can delete yahoo. Try a pc restart if it doesn't work.
It is my default, 3rd restart and nothing. Pretty sure my Chrome is possessed by the angry spirit of mcafee.@@Jay_Rule Thanks tho! I'm still looking for solutions.
i did this and found i had a broswer extension but its still popping up with yahoo
What browser extension? If it's not important then I suggest removing it.
Nothing worked for me. It only works for one search then if you open a new browser goes right back to yahoo
You have to restart your pc
@@Jay_Rule I did twice and it changed nothing. I had to factory reset the whole PC to fix it
BRO THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SO SCARED, IM SO GLAD I FOUND THIS ACCOUNT
Thanks for watching and good luck
It works but temporarily; eventually after a week or month it goes back; you gotta find the virus ; not w windows security since it’s weak
I noticed that too but unless you can find a way to uninstall McAfee, we're all stuck with this.
After doing this itll do it again like a few google tabs later
Try a pc restart to clear the computer cache
Still not working for me. I even uninstalled
Try a restart. You uninstalled Chrome?
Didn’t work, as soon as we signed back into google it opens up yahoo. We’ve done everything.
Try it again but do a pc restart
im on microsoft edge help me :((
I imagine it's the same process or steps. Google for that browser removal.
Thanks for the help! Wanna like but can't ruin the 69 likes
lol
me who uses vivaldi:

Did you restart your pc
