You've opened Chrome, but instead of Google, you see the Yahoo search engine! - The Horror… Yahoo hijacked my Chrome browser!!! - you might scream internally… it's super annoying - however, it's quite easy to get rid of this virus. Let me show you how to remove Yahoo Search from Chrome…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change your default search engine in Chrome!

ℹ️ Step one, let's learn how to change the default search engine in Google Chrome: Click on the three dots - located in the upper-right corner of Chrome to open the menu and select "Settings." On the left side of the screen, you will find the "Search engine" option. Click on it. In the "Search engine used in the address bar" section, choose your preferred search engine from the options. Of course, we go with Google.

ℹ️ We also want to remove the choice for Yahoo entirely, so below, you will see the "Manage search engines" option. There, find the Yahoo search engine in the list and click on the three dots - next to it, and choose "Remove from list." Let’s try restarting Chrome, and… great, it seems to be fixed…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove Yahoo Search Virus using Antivirus Software!

🥇Now that we have returned things to how they were, we need to do more in-depth virus removal. The easiest way how to remove Yahoo from Chrome and get rid of other problems on your device is by using decent antivirus software. An antivirus will also ensure future protection from all other malware. I personally recommend using TotalAV, Bitdefender or Norton.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Restore default Google Chrome settings!

✅ Alright, what if that damned Google Chrome Yahoo bug keeps coming back? Or maybe you just want to be SURE you cleaned it up… Then we have 2 more steps we can do. First - reset your browser to default settings. Sure, you can completely reinstall the browser itself, or you can go to the "Settings" page again, right here… On the left side of the screen, click on "Advanced" and choose the "Reset settings" option. Click on the "Restore settings to their original defaults" section, and once that's done, restart your Chrome.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove unwanted Chrome Extensions!

🥈 Another step to remove Yahoo is to remove unwanted extensions. The thing is that some browser extensions can seem normal and non-malicious, but they can still carry the Yahoo bug with them. So what you need to do is click on the three dots in the upper-right corner. Go to "More Tools" and then press the "Extensions" button. A new window will open. Here, we need to delete all extensions that we don't recognize, so like this one and this one. Another way is to delete everything to see if the problem is fixed. Remember that you can always install these extensions when you're sure they weren't cousin the bug.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion

By now, that annoying Google Chrome Yahoo virus should be gone for good. And having a good up-to-date antivirus will prevent this browser hijacker virus from happening again…

I had already ran an antivirus but the problem was still there, the temporary files was the problem, once I deleted those it was fixed, thanks for this informative video.

[hagitginzburg]

I did everything you said, not only it didn't help - now secure search is hijackings my browser and I can't get rid of it in the settings. I just waisted 20$ on an anti-virus for nothing

[predfps]

This doesn’t solve my problem. Mine doesn’t show in my browser settings.

[MargaretSchepis]

You gave me the answer in 1:20 minutes! Thank you so much!

[INSXNE]

Before I buy is Total AV a one time purchase or a Monthly/Yearly fee. Also Removing the Temp files seemed to help Thanks so much!!!

[Rekuzan]

Okay, here's a challenge for you; How do I do this for free without spending any money????
FUCKIT, I'll just re-install the OS and get a clean start.
When it comes to Linux users, this tends to be the best option.

[expotality]

Some extensions also change the default!

[paulareeves]

I ran the total AV, but it is saying it didn't find any Malware, but I know there has to be because yahoo search is hijacking my search engine all the time. Any suggestions?

[Evqis]

THANK YOU I tried everything but this…THIS worked.

[egarots]

The settings don't show up anymore with this new update. How can I find it now?

[cherylbeavers]

I just did it it worked for me when you see Yahoo in the search you have to go all the way down the list and sometimes it says deactivate when you click on the three dots you have to look for Yahoo in two places I have to deactivate it and then delete like 30 times now it's gone

[ortbiolgico]

reset settings worked for me on Opera GX thx

[jorgehernandezdominguez]

Thanks so much. It will take more days for ne to feel that the problem was completely solved, but so far it really seems it worked.
About the people mentioning that you didn't offered any "free" solution, thats is not true. You did offer a potential solution, maybe not for their specific situation but that is another thing.

Let's disambiguate, the malware you are talking about does not come from the real Yahoo company, does it? Because you go on calling it "Yahoo" all the way to the end. (*typo)

[BernhardSchwarz-xskp]

Unless you are ready to buy "spyware software" don't waste your time with this "commercial sales pitch".
