Q: deleting yahoo search engine on chrome

Recently (though this seems to be an older problem for Windows users) my default search engine has been hijacked to show Yahoo every time I click "new Tab" on Chrome. It happened on Safari, but changing the default settings resolved the issue.

 

The solutions I've been able to find are all Windows-specific. Does anyone have a Mac solution?

 

Running Chrome v47.... (up to date) on a 2-year-old iMac, v10.10.5, using Avast security. Interestingly, the Avast icon is grayed out when the Yahoo search tab is live.

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
