Everytime I use google or another search engine, I am "redirected " to some place other than the site I selected!!!!!

The place I am directed to is usually an area that I think is advertising and they want you to go to their choice websites. I don't want to go there. I want to go to the p[lace I selected!
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Sounds like your system might be infected by the Google Redirect Virus (which has nothing to do with Google). You'll find instructions here on how to remove it: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-tdss-tdl3-alureon-rootkit-using-tdsskiller

  • I like to use Google for my search engine but it has been replaced with Amazon. How do I get google back?

    In the upper right corner of the Firefox screen, there is a box for a search engine search. I used to have google there, but recently it somehow changed to Amazon.com. How do I switch it back to google?

    OK, might want to make that change in your profile to get faster answers to future questions. If you leave the "iOS6" that's now in your profile, helpers will have to ask the OS question every time you post, slowing your getting help you deserve. Note the level of detail I was able to cram in my Equipment profile (at the bottom of this post).
    I don't  have 10.7 on any of our Macs but I suspect a system update may have removed that iPhoto option. However, you can still get to your iPhoto files if 10.7 is anything like 10.8.
    In System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Screensaver tab, there is a "Source" dropdown menu direct under the preview pane. Click it and select "Choose Folder..":
    That gives you a dialog box that should point to your "Pictures" folder. Within that is your iPhoto library. Select it and see if that gives you access to your images.

  • Why can't I use Google as my search engine on Mavericks?

    Since buying a new MacBook Pro working on Mavericks OS,Safari is acting really annoyingly.
    I have Google as my default search engine in Preferences,but still it reverts every time to Yahoo when I search.Does anyone know how to overcome this?
    Additionally on many sites,the backwards/forwards arrows no longer work,they are greyed out.I try re-emphasising them on Customize Toolbar but still it makes no difference.
    Also,scrolling down a page has been made more difficult.
    I don't know why Apple has made these changes.

    Please, continue there …
    For me, I worked around this issue with the help of the Google app …

  • How do you open a DVD/file in another search engine

    how do you open a DVD/file in another search engine?

    Hi
    I think it is simpler than that: place DVD in computer and then try to run a video from the disk. It will not run using Safari, but I know it runs in Firefox which I have on the computer.
    I believe that I can depress one of the moifier keys while clicking an item on the application menu bar to open a menu where you can open the dvd using Firefox or another application.
    Should be simple, but yet to find solution.

  • Everytime I click on a link through a search engine I am diverted to another search engine, why is that? Google + Bing are doing it!

    Everytime I search something in google and bing, then go to click on a link, I am directed to another search engine, something like K Direct seems to be the main one. At first I thought this was a problem with Google but now Bing has started it, is this a firefox problem, a google + bing problem or a problem with my computer? Help!
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://www.google.com and http://www.bing.com

  • Don't like Google. How add another search engine?

    I suppose the headline says it all: I used to be a fan of Google way back then. But as I rather support smaller businesses, I'd like to add e.g. www.clusty.com as default search engine instead.
    How can I do that?

    keats2010: Apology accepted and appreciated and I apologize myself if I came across as rude. But I assume you understood that your reply wasn't at all what I asked for (and also a suggestion that I'm so daft that I don't know how to even find/use another search engine) and therefore meaningless.
    And to be fair: it wasn't "bee" but "Golden shoes" that provided a relevant reply. "bee" has merely carried out his role as self appointed monitor/moderator. I'm still trying to figure out what he/she meant by "You came across as someone who wanted to help. "
    Cheers!

    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to use a specific search engine.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to search for something using the Google or MSN search engines, but not with other search engines. What causes this and how can i fix this?

    I got the same issue to and crashes in the same exact manner. Been using IE in the mean time, thought it was just me. I tried reinstalling Firefox and everything, even rolled back windows.

  • How to set another search engine in safari?

    hi all
    can anybody tell how to set another search engine than google/yahoo in safari (e.g. Bing)?
    thank you

    At this stage, I don't know of any workarounds (or available plugins) for Safari for Windows 4.0.4 that allow you to put a different search engine option in the search field.
    The workaround I've been using is to pin a Bing window into my Top Sites.
    You can send an enhancement request to Apple about it. Although it doesn't look to be set up for it, if you bring up your Menu Bar and go "Help > Report bugs to Apple", you can use that bug report form to ask for enhancements. I was skeptical about that to begin with, but apparently they check that for feature enhancement requests, according to the following document. (It's mentioned right down the very bottom.)

  • How do I get rid of Google as a search engine, new computer. windows 7. shows yahoo as unavailable?

    I tried changing the search engine to yahoo in about:config. but google keeps coming up. In manage search engines None were available and google wasn't listed. I'm not sure how to proceed.

    If you are referring to the Search on the Default Firefox Homepage (about:home), then that can not be changed, not easily atleast. The default homepage is hardcoded to use Google as its search provider.
    To change the Firefox Default Homepage search provider you need to edit aboutHome.xhtml and aboutHome.dtd; Which will take Web Development Coding skillz.
    If you are having trouble with the homepage Preference not saving after following the steps Here: [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set Homepage.]
    Then you may need to refer to these two articles:
    *[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved Preference are not saved]
    *[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved KB: Preference not Saved]

  • With latest download, I specifically excluded yahoo as default search engine. It loaded anyway and I can not get rid of it and restore Google as default search engine

    I had Google as default search engine. Now, Yahoo shows up and even when I delete it, close firefox 8.0, restart it, Yahoo again rears its ugly head. Nothing seems to fix this. Any program I install that is tied in to Yahoo, I specifically exclude the installation of the Yahoo tool bar. How do I get rid of it once and for all?

  • Safari won't make Google my default search engine. + Top Sites issue.

    hello
    I am running 10.9.5, latest iMac, latest Safari.
    Here's my issue. Safari won't make Google my default search engine.
    I switched it in preferences, and it says the default search engine is 'Google', as well as saying it even saying 'Google' in the Toolbar text field.
    However the results always come back in Yahoo. I've tried resetting Safari, opening and closing the app but no luck.
    Also I have it set to show 24 Top Sites, but it only displays 12 and it's been stuck on the same 12 sites for 2 days.
    I'm assuming these two might be related as they are both preferences which stubbornly refuse to save as defaults.
    Any one else having these issues? Anyone know how to fix?
    Thanks!
    ;D

  • I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can't seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions?

    I suddenly have BING as my search engine. I checked my settings and Google is my search engine. I can’t seem to get rid of this BING any suggestions on getting rid of it and getting back to Google?

    Hello
    I did remove Bing from the drop down menu, but it is still in Firefox as main search engine. I also did a back up and restore. Nothing has worked so far. I read a post that people were able to delete Bing from Explorer. I guess using Explorer will be my last resort.

  • How do I make google my default search engine instead of inbox search engine?

    Google was my search engine anytime I would type just keywords into the line where you type web addresses. However, I somehow must have uploaded a new search engine called 'Inbox', which I don't care for, and now I have to type keywords into the search to the right of the screen to use google. I would like to make google my permanent search engine when using Firefox. Any suggestions? I thought I had already deleted the inbox toolbar, but it didn't change my search engine. I am not so computer savvy so...
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == don't know how or when

    I had this problem to, drove me insane for weeks. Eventually i found out how to solve the problem though:
    1. Open a new tab and in the address bar, type in "about:config" (without the quotations)
    2. A little warning pops up, just press ok and move on.
    3. In the filter search type in "inbox" (without the quotations)
    4. Right-click on any of the results that pop-up and click reset.
    That solved the problem for me, and hopefully it will for you as well.
