Safari and Firefox don't allow google anymore

Hi, I've got a problem with my search engine in Safari (same with firefox). Even though the search engine preference is set to Google, I can't access it anymore (only by force and via 4 or 5 steps).
Instead I end up on a page that begins with http://search.anysearchmac.com/

Any advice on how to get back to google would be appreciated.

cheers Julica

Your machine is in pretty good condition. With the red ink, click on each line. There should be a message that tells you what to do or where to go to remove it. The switchtool line has been removed according to the note on the bottom of the report, so ignore that.


You should remove Teamviewer app. It is a known source of problems.


Otherwise, you are probably quite slow because you have too little memory but you cant do much about that as your machine cannot be upgraded.


When you are satisfied, do another etrecheck to confirm but don't publish it in full unless there are further problems. It crams up the thread.
