Help, my Safari browser has been acting super strange. It keeps changing my default browser from Google to Only Search, and my search bar will only search on Yahoo no matter what I do. On top of that I get MacKeeper popups every time I click a link

Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

/Library/LaunchDaemons

In the Finder, select

Go ▹ Go to Folder...

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for a file with a name of the form

com.something.daemon.plist

Here something is a variable word, which can be different in each case. It could be "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," "trusteddownloads," or pretty much anything else.

There may also be a file named

com.something.helper.plist

in the same folder.

If you find files with names that fit the above description, post what you have for "something."

I've been having the same problem. Annoying. Aside from the fact that Apple is trying to distance itself from Google in all of it's products, I found the fix.There was an unauthorized extension that I don't recall installing, but may have come as an Apple Safari app update.

Go to your Safari Preferences and click on Extensions. There may be an extension called "SEARCHTAB". Uninstall it. As soon as I did, the Google preferred search engine resumed as default (as it should be selected in the General tab of Safari Preferences).

Hey!
