I must have went onto/downloaded something dodgy and now google is my homepage, like before, but after I search something, it diverts me to Yahoo's awful search engine.
I've used some YT tutorials, but none of them work. Tried editing chrome settings, and websearch settings, but nothing worked.
Any suggestions? Sorry that this isn't gas relevant, but It's getting annoying, especially since I'm missing out on Rovers news.

I think a nice ban from the forum will sort you out.

I would leave a nice Gas team photo as their screen saver, or upload some real dodgy stuff (can't say what I'm too polite!) so they get arrested? Not great for business though I suppose but tempting! |

Haha did that once with an ex sh**ty & Rovers Manager ( you can guess who lol). Changed his wall paper from sh**ty team photo to a Rovers one. he had a good laugh about it at the time. You will be surprised how many ex sh**ty and rovers players computers i have fixed, but then again our friends south of the river think i'm a "tin pot" computer business lol |

I think it has something to do with the forum since I had a similar problem after coming on here last week.
Check your browser settings to see what your homepage is set as. I don't know how I fixed it - it just seemed to right itself on my phone ... which probably means whatever virus it is is still running in the background and selling my identity and bank details to a Ukrainian teenager.

Ooops I had a similar issue so know your frustration no matter if change the settings it still throws up Yahoo. My lappy wasn't running very fast despite it being a fast laptop so I ended up doing a full system clean up and windows 10 reinstall pain in the backside but I have backup external hardrive which I store all my important files best £100 ive ever spent. You could try doing a system restore to an earlier point see if that works other than that HG is your man |

I've checked the settings, re-installed, and made google my homepage as well as deleting Yahoo itself but still it diverts me to it. |

Try this:-
Click on the three vertical dots on near the top right of the screen, from the drop down menu choose "settings"
Scroll down to the Search Engines heading - then click the drop down arrow to the right of "Search engines used in the address bar" - select Google
On the line below, click the arrow to the right of "Manage Search Engines". There are three vertical dots against each search engine, click these and then for every search engine apart from Google select "remove from list.
Hopefully that should do it.
Yahoo and Bing seem to find their way back onto the list eventually, you need to make sure that if you are updating or installing a programme, that and check boxes are unticked re. installing extras such as Yahoo search engine.

Have you downloaded any programs recently? like toggsy said they often install toolbars and other annoying bullshit |
