Yahoo search engine virus

Thank you so much! It cleared the darn virus. I suspect mine came with an "Adobe Flash download" that was disguised as "click here to download" the document I sought. Once clicked, my screen flashed with all kinds of prompts for Flash update, etc., and too fast for me to see all of them. It also changed my default safari homepage to Apple Support homepage which raised all kinds of red flags, especially not knowing if the page was even a legitimate one. This happened mid-January. While I was able to reset my defaults in safari, I only noticed yesterday that I couldn't use Google search cuz it kept redirecting me back to yahoo search...so irritating and annoying. Researching fixes returned many other "recommendations," but thankfully I found this before acting on one. This one worked for my MacPro OS X El Capitan! I also deleted the Flash Player update file that seemed to have sparked this nonsense. So, fingers-crossed going forward.

Lesson learned: if a page has too many Click Here and Download buttons, get out of there.

I have the same problem but I am running OS 10.10 Yosemite.

It seems that I can't up date my software to the required OS.

Are there any other solutions that I could try.

I am using Chrome as my browser, as Safari seems not to be able to open some of my needed websites that it used to.

I have some kind of a worm that keeps redirecting my internet searches from my chosen engine to the yahoo search engine. I can stop it for awhile but it always returns eventually. I use a MacBook pro with OS 10.3.6 Can't find this addressed in a way that has resolved it in general on-line search (now limited to a yahoo search of course)! Help!

Dear Apple team,

Actually I have a probleme of search engine that always changes to yahoo. I have read the results and fixed that as Apple team suggested some one to download Malwarebytes. I did and after restarted my MacBook Pro with Mac OS sierras. I can’t even use or search or connect to server. It shown “safari can’t connect to the server.

Before download that application I download google chrome but I can’t even open it because Unarchiver. I might delete some files. Was the problem of Unarchiver?

Please help me I can’t use my MacBook Pro. Now I use iPad to write questions.

Thanks and regards,

Suebpongsang Y.

Thank u, that was very helpful

You're welcome.

This was a great help. I have been having trouble all week getting my mail and having my search engine hijacked and this fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

Sometimes it takes more than one scan to catch everything. Hopefully, it caught them all now.

Oh my god, thank you so much! this has drove me insane for the last two hours now removed

Hope it works!!!

I ran Malwarebytes multiple times without any success. Yahoo is monster and I wonder why Google has not responded to the problem.

Couldn't agree more! Come on Google, help us out!

It worked immediately

thank you
