How to Fix Search Engine Keeps Changing to Yahoo in Chrome

Does your Google Chrome search engine automatically switch to Yahoo? It could be the Yahoo search redirect virus. Here're 8 ways to fix this.

  1. I stopped syncing my Chrome profiles on my computers (desktop at work, laptop for home/personal use)
  2. While logged in, I went to Chrome settings > Search engine > Manage search engines and site search
  3. Under "Search engines" I deleted everything but Google
  4. Under "Site search" (same page) I deleted any site rerouted to something else. There was a Yahoo icon for me next to these entries - clicking on the pencil icon will show you the URL and if it's legitimate or not (check regardless of the icon, just in case). If it has anything but the legitimate URL it should point to - delete it.
  5. I closed every Chrome window on my computers, opened a new window, turned sync back on for my profiles, then tested my URL/search bar with an old fashioned "cats" and happily received Google results of cats without any redirects! Tested on both computers and profiles, everything is fine now!
 
Yeah! Me too! Thanks a lot!
Especially for telling me early on, that there didn't seem to bei malware at work, which let me sleep better...
