Can anyone help with an search engine issue?


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am having a problem with my search engine - Google Chrome - every time I try to do a search another search engine 'kicks in' i.e. 'Safefinder' provided by Yahoo search :angry: . No matter how frequently I click on the home button it is immediately changed to the above. Does anyone have any idea what I can do? I have tried going in to 'settings' then 'manage search engines'; I delete everything except Google Chrome, but it makes no difference! :(

 

Oops - title should read '... help with a search engine issue'!

All seems ok now - I uninstalled lots of 'undesirable' programs (fingers crossed I haven't uninstalled something I shouldn't have!)

Thanks again!

My SIL is always downloading odd toolbars by accident.. sight not being the best and she doesn't notice those small ticks when updating some of the software... I usually go to her extensions on Chrome and remove all not needed there.. surprising what gets downloaded without her realising.. always worth looking there too..

top right on chrome is an icon looks like lines..
click that for a drop down list , this is where you can change settings ,clear cache etc.. (worth having a browse through them)

go to tools and that gives another list.. click on extensions and see if any have been added , you can disable or delete them from there..

Also you can add things .I have an add blocker that blocks adverts on sites you visit (Adblock plus), and a few others I have added.
