Have a problem with Safari: homepage is set to google.com but I am sometimes redirected to yahoo when i enter a search term. I assume I downloaded a virus/trojan/malware or similar.
Any current fixes?
Am running El Capitaine, Macbook Air (2012(
Processor 1.9 ghz intel core i5
memory 4 gb 1600 mhm ddr3
graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
Thanks 4 any help.
Redirects can be due to malware or adware.
Download and run Malwarebutes Anti-Malware
If you would rather not download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you can remove the malware manually following the instructions here > Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
Hi Carolyn
I tried Malwarebites and removed a couple of things but the problem persists.
I restored my router/modem to factory then tried again.
Still have the problem.
Thanks
Okay, I ran BitDefender also: nothing found.
I note that this is not happening when I use Google Chrome, only Safari!
Thanks
yahoo redirect
