Question

Hi, I have this problem.

The truth is I want to remove yahoo as it is very bad because I think that "encasqueten" that way because I'm sure you have not chosen to install or as a seeker or as nothing.

Hello eslem. 

 

Try something simple solution to see if it is possibly something you've installed maliciously left it as the default search engine: 

 

Right Click on the icon with the spears Chrome / Properties / in the Target field should ": \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ chrome.exe C" appear 

 

Everything you see chrome.exe you delete / Apply and accept everything. 

 

Try and tell us.

Thanks osky, I tell you: 

 

This is what I get on the tab bar access directories "destination": 

"C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Google \ Chrome \ Application \ chrome.exe" 

 

Take this opportunity to ask you another question: 

In the "Compatibility" tab I have checked the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for ..." and there is a drop-down list to choose several windows. 

 

Thank you

Answer 3

 

The "Destination" field is correct. On the "Compatibility" box "Run this program in so ...." tab should be disabled so the OS options You'll see faded, it's normal. 

 

Have you tried to change the default search engine? I leave the steps: 

 

 

Click the Chrome menu [IMG] located in the toolbar of the browser. 

Select Settings and scroll to the "Search" section. 

Click Manage Search Engines. 

To remove a search engine, select it and click the "x" shown at the right end of the row. 

Then set your favorite search engine: 

 

 

Click the Chrome menu [IMG] on the browser toolbar. 

Select Settings. 

In the "Search" section, select the search engine you want to use from the menu. If the search engine you want to use is not listed on the menu, click Manage Search Engines ... 

In the dialog box "Search Engines" in the list select the search engine you like to use.

Click the Set Default button. 

But if you still can not change you should use this tool to see if you can remove the unwanted of Chrome, it's simple: AdwCleaner 

 

Try and tell us. Regards,

Hi, I've tried the first thing you suggested me and thought that would be enough with that because it seems that logic disappears yahoo but it was not all at así.Hice literally nothing, is the damn yahoo. 

I wanted to try to jump AdwCleaner but I notice that "smart star windows prevented the application start ..." and I'm not sure I want to disable smart screen for security. 

What do you think? 

greetings

Answer 5

Hello eslem. 

 

The AdwCleaner you must run right click and "Run as Administrator" so you should not have problems. Also in Smart Screen is configured by default so that the request: "Require approval of an Administrator before running .....". Try again. 

 

But sometimes it's easier and faster to play it safe, back up your bookmarks Chome (Export bookmarks) and uninstall Chrome if it asks if you want to save the current own settings you say no. Limpiio install on Chrome and Import Bookmarks saved: 

 

 

Click the Chrome menu [IMG] on the browser toolbar. 

Select Bookmarks. 

Select Bookmark Manager. 

Click the Organize menu manager. 

Choose Export Bookmarks. 

 

 

Click the Chrome menu [IMG]. 

Select Bookmarks. 

Select Import Bookmarks and Settings. 

Select the program or location that contains the bookmarks you want to import. 

Click Import. 

 

When people around me have problems with any browser I do not go around the bush, I uninstall and clean install again, dead dog rabies is over. 

 

Now you tell us. Regards, osky

respect to AdwCleaner, despite running in administrator mode, I still departing message screen.Así smart crhome I uninstalled and I'm back because I had problems instalar.He tratanto installing from inet not change screen "installing" with which I have had to use iexplorer standalone.exe crhome to download and run it from my pc. 

Luckily now works without leaving yahoo search engine in the first window (or the following) 

And interestingly export markers in the escrtorio htlm but I did not need to import it and kept all the bara favorites ... 

Another more resolute doubt, thanks crack! 

Answer 7

I'm glad resolvieses the problem. Although I have been using the Windows 8.1 and AdwCleaner never showed me the announcement Smart Screen, I do not know why if it appears to you, remember that it should run all applications as Administrator by right-clicking. 

 

Being itself will close the topic and give as solved.

Answer 8

At the request of Hedtrip I reopen the issue. For private you say: 

 

Kbite Hello, unfortunately I back out yahoo page principal.Y as administrsdor as I can not run the adwcleaner.Ya not know what else to do ... thanks for everything 

It is very possible that you have a major infection so let's start again and try to thoroughly clean the system, follow these steps without exception: 

 

The first is to disable System Restore in case a virus is cloned from that folder, once again to finish the turn by reversing the steps.
