The chrome browser on my window 11 laptop has started defaulting to yahoo as search engine even when instructed to do otherwise. The address briefly shows as search-great on its way to becoming google. I believe this is the search-great browser hijacker?
I have attempted all of the steps in How To Remove Any Browser Redirect Virus From Windows, Mac & Android but this has not made any difference
The same thing has happened to my chrome browser (same google profile) on my work laptop (windows 10). I have not been able to do the same steps on the work laptop because I do not have administrator access.
I also have an android phone, which seems to be operating normally
My windows 11 laptop is newish (one month old) and I had not got around to installing Norton on it until after this happened - rookie error, but Norton scan has not found the malware, so perhaps would not have made any difference in any case.
I would be grateful for your advice on clearing this from my personal laptop (windows 11) and whether I should keep my work laptop offline until our administrator can deal with it.
Appreciate it is Christmas Eve today, which may affect response times!
