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.

[@Jay_Rule]

You have to start a new browser tab each time because the current ones haven't synced or refreshed yet.

[@2OP4Scrubz]

@@Jay_Rule Yeah and then when i turn on Sync it keeps doing the mobility search and takes me to yahoo.

[@Jay_Rule]

@@2OP4Scrubz I've never used sync. What is that? Like sync bookmarks with a cellphone?

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

[@Jay_Rule]

I hate when this happens and it does happen quite often like once every month or so.

[@badzgaming]

@@Jay_Rulecan it just randomly happen or do you have to get a program for it to get hijacked

[@Jay_Rule]

@@badzgaming It doesn't happen randomly. It's probably ads that you accidentally clicked.

[@TrashEntertainment_hehe]

@@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

[@Jay_Rule]

It's a possibility but I'm not certain@@TrashEntertainment_hehe

Thank you so much! This completely solved my problem. Certainly one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. Great job!

[@Lucifyyy.]

Holy COW i was so annoyed at this and you saved me THANK YOU!!! 💗💗💗💗 :edit but also one thing that worked for me was that i watched other videos to say to make google chrome a bookmark then change it from there but then just remove those too

[@Jay_Rule]

I don't understand what you mean by making Google Chrome a bookmark. It's a browser so how can it become a bookmark? Can you share the video link you watched?

[@Lucifyyy.]

@@Jay_Rule sorry I forget the video but it said that to make the website of google chrome a bookmark then underneath the search browsers for bookmarks make it that but my problem was that when I did that it it had the virus thing home search tab so I deleted them from the bookmark and it did that sorry if that doesn’t make sense

[@Jay_Rule]

@@Lucifyyy. So forcing a search engine to be the Google search website? How do you do that? I tried going into edit search engine of Google and you can't modify the URL.

[@Lucifyyy.]

@@Jay_Rule so basically you make google the websites bookmark then you click on the more options when you click on search engine then underneath bookmarks once you scroll down it says google and you the click 3 dots and then click make as defaults

[@kellyjohna]

Good stuff...actually works and go figure you don't have to put real viruses (fake antivirus) on your machine to do it ! Bravo !

Thank you so much! I had this problem for years and didn't know what to do

[@Jay_Rule]

[@hac11]

THANK YOU but 1 question, why do you have like 40 amazon tabs open? ur pc must be lagging a lot if you keep them open

[@Jay_Rule]

Because I need the product links for my videos

[@b_loop_s]

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.

[@b_loop_s]

if somebody can help me, would be wonderful! haven’t found any comment or video on youtube that is of use to my issue.

[@draggaming3180]

Bro mine has changed to SURFEE engine and i cant change it how do i change it back ?

@@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.

[@Jay_Rule]

@@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.

[@seranrevere865]

@@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.

[@macbux00]

What is the McAffee thing do? It seems like the hijacker is associated with it.

[@Jay_Rule]

It's an antivirus software like Norton

[@graphicContrast]

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.

[@Jay_Rule]

@@graphicContrast Yes. It's like a safe mode search. McAfee is the creator of this safe search.

[@saulsber7967]

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

[@Jay_Rule]

Try these steps and then do a pc restart

[@ShiftMc9]

Than you so much for this dude

[@Jay_Rule]

yw, plz subscribe.

[@HigginsBiggins]

does it actually do anything dangerous?

[@Jay_Rule]

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.

[@sternhagelvoll6933]

when i go to search engine it doesnt show secure search?

[@Jay_Rule]

What does it show? Try a restart.

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.

What's the point of the yahoo thing though? Like what do the scammers get out of it, do they steal your information?

[@Jay_Rule]

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.
