Howdy Y'all,
I am excited to discover thisi community, as it deals with a lot of topics I'm becoming involved with, such as AI software and software creation and configuration.
Right now, I am having a problem with Malware, and have done all the troubleshooting I know how to to correct it, all to no avail.
When I launch a tab, which defaults to the google homepage I set myself, my search gets 'redirected' to a Bing search. I have my search bar settings from the address bar set to search with google too, but when I search from that field, it will either search Bing or Yahoo, but not Google, as I have set it to.
I have checked for any recent extensions in my browser, deleted a recent zipped Paint extension freeware pack, used disck cleanup to remove files associated with uninstalled or deleted files, run Windows Defender as a scan, reset to default settings on my browser and DELETED Bing as an option from every dropdown in settings, all to no avail. If I type in google.com again, it will allow me to search google, but the homepage should not be an imposter page, as I have just configured the 'Home' address for a second time and ensured it was saved as google.
I could rreally use some help in tracking down the Malware, as it does not appear to be visible anywhere and I have checked everything I know how to. I appreciate it and hope everyone is having a nice day!
