[MacOS] Downloading an HTML file as soon as I click on a link

Hello,

I've had a little problem for a while now, I can't access a webpage anymore. I'm on a Mac and using Chrome.

As soon as I click on a page, a download starts with the name of the page followed by ".html" and the page doesn't open... I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Chrome but nothing has changed...

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Juption

    Hello,

    Probably an infection that causes redirections.

    Check here

    Start with Malwarebytes for Mac
    Disable the premium trial.
    Run a scan and remove from quarantine.

    Reset your browser(s).

    Ps: I had made a tutorial but it was for Windows, and I didn’t validate it since you’re using a Mac and I’m not very familiar with it; I included Malwarebytes at the end.

    Cheers

      Right-click, properties. In "Open with," change the browser.

    Hello,

    Go to the Finder app in the dock
    Click on "Applications"
    In the left pane of Finder, click on "Applications".
    Search for and delete the malware application, check the date if it is recent.
    Example of a malware application → Search Protect
    Right-click on the trash icon and select "Empty Trash"

    For Google Chrome
    Reset it
    Tutorial here

    Go to Extensions and remove them if you don't recognize them.

    Check the homepage.
    On Startup → Open a specific page or set of pages
    You can set Google

    Select Google as the default search engine.




    Install uBlock for Mac here

    See you later
