Numerous internet users claim that without their intervention, their search engines have switched from Google or Bing to Yahoo and vice versa. If you've encountered this, you might have fallen prey to browser hijackers looking to take advantage of Yahoo's unique business strategy.

Users are irritated when the search engine switches to Yahoo, and malware and bad websites may profit from the transition. Fortunately, there is a technique to stop this from occurring. Below, we outline five possible solutions to search engine changes.

Adjust the default search engine, first
The user's default browser settings, including the default search engine, can be modified by some programs. If you recently set up a dubious online app, it's possible that during setup, that program selected Yahoo as your preferred browser.

One of the simplest solutions is to go to your internet settings and change the default search engine back to Google or whatever it was before.

2. Eliminate harmful browser add-ons
Through add-ons we obtain from the internet, viruses can infect browser extensions. To stop unwanted assaults, many sophisticated internet users even disable all of their extensions.

Examine all of your extensions, paying particular attention to those that you recently added after the redirecting problem first appeared. It might be advisable to remove any add-ons that aren't verified.

There may occasionally be no obvious indication that an add-on may be malicious. The only option you have in this situation is to disable all extensions and then progressively restore them back one at a time until you identify the problematic one.
