[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Question for you

[Drew King (dking65@kingconsulting.us)]

Another good program that you can use to scan manually for malware is called Malwarebytes and the manual run version is free of charge.

Try setting your default browser to some other search engine that you have an option for and then close out the browser and restart and see if it goes to that alternate search engine properly. If it does you'll probably be able to switch it back where you want it and it will work. That's just a theory.

Sometimes people can get away with this by modifying the proxy settings on the computer so I'd check that too. Sorry but I don't know where this is on a Mac.

What happens when you try and open one of those Incognito windows?

Both Chrome and Firefox have Google set as the default search engine. Also, when I open a new tab in Chrome, there is a blank page with a search box in the middle!! I downloaded the trial version of Spy Hunter. Spy Hunter only found an old version of WhatsApp. Then I downloaded and paid for Combo Cleaner. Combo Cleaner says it is scanning my system, but it gets stuck at 20% saying it has found 6 threats so far!! But it doesn’t get any further than 20%!! Do you have any recommendations? Can I ask Combo Cleaner for a refund?
