My 'tablet' flips me to Yahoo when I do a Google search. WTF!?!?!
I do a google search and for whatever reason I end up getting switched to Yahoo. What have I done wrong?

(2,291 posts)In android Firefox you can set the search engine .... that is the only one I use but others should be abut the same for those choices.....Settings/Search
Probably not much help

Drives me nuts!!!
Thanks, though.....
If your default search engine(Google) keeps changing to Yahoo suddenly when you traditionally use Chrome, Safari, or Firefox to surf the web, your computer is likely afflicted with malware. The best solution is to reset your browsers settings. This should stop the Yahoo redirect virus from obstructing your browser
