Remove persistent Yahoo Search engine from Chrome

Solved

Hello,

I can't seem to remove Yahoo search from my Google Chrome, which has established itself as the default search engine.

I've tried to solve it through the Google settings (reset, default search engine, etc.), using AdwCleaner (which seems to find it and quarantine it, but it keeps coming back)

Thank you for your help

Lenovo PC Windows 10 Home
Chrome Version 115.0.5790.171

Hello,

Exactly, since the crash of the Security-X site, the upload has not been repaired,

You can also put them on https://textup.fr/, it's more readable than on Cjoint.

Hello.

Following my message, I thought we needed to register on the security site in order to consult the reports. Hence my decision to modify my text and replace it with . . . Error.

Regards . . .

Hello,

No infection, just remnants of McAfee trying to impose Yahoo

***********

--> Copy what is here https://textup.fr/732929Mc from start:: to end:: (without pasting it anywhere)

--> Open FRST (or FRST64) as administrator and click on Fix
If FRST seems to freeze or does not respond, let it run

--> The PC will restart

--> A fixlog file is created in the same location as FRST, post it like the other reports

--> Let me know if you still have the problem.

Thank you!
Since your message it works, Google is definitely still my default engine!

Hello,

Yes, you can set and enable a new search engine. We still have the option to use other search engines than the one that is imposed.

Thank you for your reply, but this is the first thing to do and I have done it as explained in my post.
I need a more refined solution.

Hello,

thank you for your response.
I would like that then because I'm still having the problem (despite my antivirus that seems to be quarantining it).

Hello,

Maybe Google Sync has something to do with it (When it comes back).

Hello,

Okay, you can delete FRST

To automatically delete all files/folders created by FRST and the tool itself, rename FRST/FRST64.exe to uninstall.exe and run it.

The process requires a reboot

See you later on CCM
