smithie 2,429 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 click on start, then control pannel then internet options you get a box like this home page needs to say the same as mine. you can copy it or go and ask and search for google, cut and paste the http in to home page box.. you have probably instaled some junk today and it changed home page good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,429 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) might be a good idea to remove any other adresses in there or it could go back to ASK. also go in change search defaults select google if it does and you about google being the main search engine Edited February 3, 2015 by smithie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) On the top r/hand side you will see a little grid click on that, then click on settings, a new page opens up click on extensions it should be there, just as a guess. Just seen the post above your in good hands now. Someone who actually knows what he is talking about. TC Edited February 3, 2015 by tiercel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 4,931 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 What Flipper_Al has said is the way to go. Think your browser has maybe been hijacked like mine was. You can fcuk about for ages trying to delete the thing without ever killing it all..., and you'll end up doing what the guy has suggested in the end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 5,998 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Cheers Flipper,will do that,i did uninstall and reinstall chrome,no joy there,worse now! Thanks for all tips and help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
