Bing and MSN seems to have hijacked my browser. HP pc w windows 8.1 newest IE (I believe) Norton anti-virus and, today, cleverbridge delux running as well as steps taken per this forum whilst browsing.
Have re-entered Google as homepage in Internet Options repeatedly.
Attempted to locate on "program uninstall", it's not there in any form or date as well.
in Manage add-ons under "types', bing appears (alone) but will not remove.
Have re-set Internet and personal settings twice.
Ran Norton Power eraser to no avail.
Bought and ran Cleverbridge (came up clean) to no avail.
In Internet Explorer "properties" there are no symbols after 1.explore.exe.
as a note...initially upon opening browser, message read, "no internet access", or, "address incorrect", etc, and I noticed that this malware kept adding an extra "https;//" to the correct address for Google in the search window. Altering that error only served to receive additional error messages.
