[QUOTE="eminem1124, post: 980936, member: 94700"] Hi I have a Mac and I accidentally downloaded something that I thought was a flashcard deck for studying but I guess was a virus. It seems to only be affecting Google Chrome. My browser keeps defaulting to Bing even though in settings it says Google. I even deleted all other browser options in my Default browser settings and it still redirects to Bing. Right before it goes to Bing it says gaminsearch.com in the browser. I also get random ads that pop up as a new window every hour. And when I first open up Chrome it crashes and then re-opens. I tried looking at my extensions a few days ago on chrome settings but chrome://extensions/ and the extensions button on settings just keep redirecting to the main settings page. So I guess the virus was preventing me from getting to the extensions page. So then I just reset my settings and it let me access my extensions but there was nothing there. And then a couple days later there was an extension called properties so I deleted that but I'm still having the same problems. And now the same thing is happening where I can't even access the extensions page because it keeps redirecting back to settings. I tried downloading a couple Mac cleaner apps to see if the problem was with a virus on my computer but both of those apps didn't find anything and I also haven't seen any unrecognizable apps. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome using AppCleaner for Mac, which is like Revo. The redirecting to Bing doesn't happen on Incognito windows, but the ad window still pops up. Any ideas of how to get rid of this problem would be much appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
