    • I'm having an annoying problem, whe I open the browser, wether it's Mozilla, firefox, opera or google chrome, I get a search engine which, appeared out of nowhere and became the main page ad main search engine. I just wanna know how to restore it to it's default search (Google) but I dunno how to do it. I don't know if I'm making any sense.

    I get these searches whenever I open the webrowser:

    • You have a trojan virus that is hijacking your browsers.

    Utilize these two tools, the first one first and see if it fixes your issue, and then the second link if the first one fails:

    https://www.malwarebytes.org/
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/

    They are both very well trusted programs for rooting out these things.
    If it doesn't work, please inform and we can try something different.

    • I ran the programs, and followed the instructions, but now I get this one instead:

    home.psafe.com
    and when I open a tab
    home.tb.ask.com/index

    . . . .Running malwarebytes now and fingers cross to clean it up now. I'll reply quickly if it worked or not.
