Your browser homepage changed without you doing it
Something has hijacked your browser — either adware or an extension you installed without realizing what it does. Check your browser extensions first — if you see anything you don't recognize, delete it. Then reset your homepage back to what you want.
Browser hijackers are programs that change your homepage, search engine, and add unwanted extensions. They sneak onto your computer through downloads you didn't pay attention to or fake software updates. The good news is they're almost never dangerous — they're just annoying. The bad news is they're persistent and love to hide.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Not uninstalling the program that bundled in the hijacker — it will keep reinstalling the extension
- Only resetting the homepage but leaving the extension there — it will change it back
- Thinking your computer is broken when it's just an extension — a full reset fixes it
Signs you need professional help
- Your antivirus scan found malware but the homepage keeps changing anyway
- The problem keeps happening even after you uninstall and reinstall the browser
- You see warnings about your browser being hacked but can't fix it yourself
