Fuck Yahoo... its taken over

[TheMarine0341 4,972]

I used Chrome as my default browser. 

Ive installed nothing. No tool bars. Visited no porn/torrents/etc (posting from work PC... damn straight Im not going to do that crap on this PC). But, every time I open a new tab or try and do a google search, this URL takes the fuck over

https://search.yahoo.com/?fr=hp-ddc-bd&type=dc-bcr-sm-rhb-32__alt__ddc_dsssyc_bd_com

 

Tried using Malwars Bytes, etc. to remove. No clue at ALL where the fuck this came from and why Yahoo has taken the fuck over Chrome. Ive removed all other searches from Chrome Settings. Ive restarted several times. Ive opened no attachments. Clean install of Chrome too

[Trobs 670]

ADWCleaner. Try that

[Cunicularius 4,543]

Fuck Yahoo

[Itchi 402]

I know this is going to sound real dumb, but change your homepage/default search engine settings?

You may have removed whatever hijacked your shit, but the defaults it changed may remain.

Maybe you just set the default search engine to yahoo? Without noticing?

I use duckduckgo (on purpose). But Yahoo is also an option to choose from. Maybe you did without noticing.

I didnt, and this was the first thing I checked

Google has always been default, and Ive constantly removed the other whenever they've added themselves

if you have run all the tools you said you have and nothing dumb is installed (including any addons/extensions which you should also uninstall/disable) - reset ALL the browser settings to default.

Simple solution.........don't use Chrome 

 

In all seriousness, look at your programs to see if something is odd. Also run Chrome and open Process\Task Manager and look for things out of ordinary. There might be something running that is not triggering antivirius etc... If this does not get fixed during the day I am happy to hop on TS this evening and help ya fix it

[Shackram 4,285]

Yahoo bought google, confirmed.

I *think* I might have fixed it... at least right now, its fine

1) Complete uninstall of all things Chrome/Google related
2) CCleaner, registry cleaner and browser cleaner
3) Complete wipe of all things Chrome related on my PC (fuck IE, but had to use that to look this shit up)
4) Restart PC, run CCleaner and ADW cleaner
5) Installed Chrome for Business. 

Seems to be running fine now. Ive done a combination of all the above already, but this combination seemed to have worked.

Fuck Yahoo. Look, Yahoo. I know you're a struggling and terrible company apart from your fantasy sports section. But please, if you install freaking AddWare again on my computer which redirects my freaking Google Search to your @#*(&@#( mother # Q(*$ #(* lousy $(* $@(#* #@% Yahoo Search, may your company completely die in a fire.

[Enroh 293]

you could run this and take a look at the results to see if there is anything suspicous http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/

MS Safety Scanner is decent at finding crap too (if you haven't tried it that is)

have you checked your hosts file for a redirect entry?

Okay, if you have any other issues let me know. Also Make Sure To Run ALL Possible Blocking Plugins On Any Browser You Use!

[Marduk 941]

You had a plugin take over your search bar. Its annoying, but not tragic once you figure out how to remove them.

I removed all plugins, the issue still persisted.

[monjardin 1,014]

This happened to my father-in-law. He uninstalled Chrome and switched back to IE. Poor soul. 

[NightmareMk9 429]

At least it wasn't Bing.

Microsoft actually has the ability to take over the world.

Yahoo is just a stupid search engine.

Hate to point this out, but as others can testify....

Once you have kids, your brain doesn't function properly.  It changes, and you may have a very hard time with simple tasks.

2 daughters, 10 years, lots of alcohol, lots of grey hair...trust me, it only gets worse
