Karen23455Hi I think that I am infected with a browser hijacker. My start up page on Chrome browser has been removed and it keeps going back when I search.
I have tried malware bytes and it removed a few things but i cant change the start page still.
Any ideas?
Karen23455The webpage is us.yahoo.com
Welcome to the Security Center forum,
It sounds like you may have been infected with a browser hijacker. A potentially unwanted program or browser attachment may have compromised your internet browser settings.
There are 2 things I would like you to do:
1. Run another scan with Malwarebytes
2. Run a second scan with HitmanPro

Karen234555I didnt use the right email address before so I have a new name. Thanks for the quick help.
Hitman pro removed some tracking cookies and malwarebytes did not show any results again so i wont post the results. I bought hitmanpro. i was also able to remove yahoo from chrome using the link so thanks for that. everything is back to normal!
have a blessed day!
