[QUOTE="Jack, post: 855036, member: 1"] Ok, let's fix this: First, let's check if there's any malicious Profile installed on your mac. To do this go to System Preferences > search for Profiles (if you cannot find any icon that means that you don't have any, which is normal). If you find the Profiles icon, click on it and use the minus "-" sign to remove all profiles. Next: [LIST=1] [*]Open a new Terminal window: [I]Finder > Go > Utilities > Terminal[/I] [*]Enter the following commands, pressing enter after each line: [code]defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageIsNewTabPage -bool false defaults write com.google.Chrome NewTabPageLocation -string "https://www.google.com/" defaults write com.google.Chrome HomepageLocation -string "https://www.google.com/" defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderNewTabURL defaults delete com.google.Chrome DefaultSearchProviderName[/code] [*]Reset your browser settings to default: [LIST=1] [*]On your computer, open Chrome. [*]At the top right, click More (the 3 vertical dots) > [B]Settings[/B]. [*]At the bottom, click [B]Advanced[/B]. Under "Reset Settings," click [B]Restore settings to their original defaults[/B] > [B]Reset Settings. Restart computer.[/B] [*]After running these commands, quit Chrome if you haven't already done so, then launch it again and check [icode]chrome://policy[/icode] to see if the same keys are still present (you may need to click the "Reload policies" button for changes to show up).
