Hi, how can i return back safari default search engine?

How can I return back safari default search engine? It has been changed after trying to download adobe flash player.

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

  • How can I return back to OSx after installing Lion?

    I'm disappointed. After installing Lion, everything is slower. The best thing I had last year was my new MacBook Pro, because everything was fast.. (sleep, opening programs, multitasking...etc) Now, everything takes forever. How can I return back to OSx?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

    I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
    How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

    Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
    6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
    1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
    2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
    3. Select "Bing".
    4. Click the "Remove" button.
    5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
    6. Click "OK"
    All Done.... :-)
    Happy Searching...

  • How can I set the order of search engines on my Macbook?

    When I use "Manage Search Engines" to rearrange the order of my search engines, the order changes temporarily, only to revert to the order the search engine add-ons were installed, the next time Firefox is restarted. How can I set the hierarchy of search engines to suit my preference, and have it stay that way?

    It may be your preferences problem.
    Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • WHY CAN I NOT EDIT THE DEFAULT SEARCH ENGINE USED BY THE ADDRESS BAR (NOT THE SEARCH BAR NEXT TO IT) FROM BING TO GOOGLE?

    I am asking this question again, because upon checking the forum for a solution I was shocked and appalled by the severe lack of grammar, punctuation and spelling I encountered while reading answers to this question. Obviously several people where to busy to actually read the question being asked and simply answered with instructions on how to change the default search engine for the search bar. SO, here I am asking the same question, why? because it still has not been answered and I myself still CANNOT find this setting anywhere. I use multiple browsers for different tasks, Chrome is KICKING the .... out of you guys Mozilla, why did you ever let your self get taken in by Micro-crack (Microsoft), if I recall correctly the inception of this program was partly motivated by the need for an alternative to the idiosyncrasies and vulnerability of Microsoft Internet Explore. This really feels like a HUGE step backwards, I would love to see a return to the days when Mozilla Firefox was and inspiration to developers and techs everywhere. And please will someone just answer the right question this time. Trust me when I say it will be obvious who does and does not read this in it's entirety.

    HAHA! I have solved it! Ok here is the URL for Google, as mentioned above by bram:
    "Go to About:config
    Search for keyword.URL
    Double click the Value entry field, and change it to the search engine you prefer"
    Enter this URL for the string value

  • An add-on to force firefox switch back to default search engine in search bar

    Hi,
    I have a couple search engines installed in firefox's search bar. I find it extremely annoying that each time I change the search engine it remains like that even after restarting firefox. Is there any add-on that would switch back to the one that is on the top of the list (which happens to be my default search engine for navigation bar as well) every time I restart the browser?
    Let me give you an example: I use duckduckgo as a default search engine for the nav bar and in the search bar. Let's say I need to find a definition for which I use wikipedia search engine. I switch to wikipedia one then. I turn off the browser and the next time I start firefox the search engine that appears in the search bar is wikipedia and I would prefer it to be duckduckgo.
    I hope it isn't to vague.
    cheers,
    Omen

    Easiest is to set the preferred default engine to the preferred search engine via the user.js file in the Firefox profile folder by copying the related user_pref() line to this file.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
    You can search the <b>about:config</b> page for browser.search. to locate the pref(s) that you need.
    *user_pref("browser.search.defaultenginename", "Google");
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    * Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    * Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) user.js file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
    * Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as user.js<br />Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working user.js.txt file

  • How can I get back the default system files icons to my fles?

    Hello,
    After installing an application like FontExplorer, all my fonts got it's icon.
    I went to a font, selected and did get info, I tried to delete the icon but could not.
    I know the default icons for OTF fonts and an italic O, half green, half black.
    How can I get those Icons back,
    Or in general,
    When files gets an application icons, how can I restore the default icons for files?
    Thank you
    Shlomit

    Icons in the Get Info pane can be changed back to the original icon by clicking on the icon once, to highlight it, and then pressing Control X (for cut).
    But in your case the font icon is probably more due to the association with the application selected to open it with, ie FontExplorer. So with the Get Info pane open for a selected font type you need to change which application you use to open it with. For example, if you select one of the OTF fonts and do a Get Info, in the Open With pane it will show FontExplorer. Change this to Font Book and it should change its default icon.

  • Google search keeps doing a custom search using "Özel Arama"... HOW do i return it to default search???

    When I click in the search area and choose a google search (taskbar), it returns with a bogus "Özel Arama"
    The url is:
    http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-9588033570232632:rhmyra-cwbb&q=%22%C3%96zel+Arama%22+%22is+pissing+me+off%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    When I "manage search engines" and set to DEFAULT, it does not go away.
    I have changed the language settings back and forward in the advanced options for goolge.com... no good.
    I can only search from the google site, not the search engine in firefox, which is backward and stupid.
    How do I sort it out?
    Where can I set the google search info to stop routing it thru a dumb-assed "Özel Arama"??

  • How can I get rid of a search engine that doesn't show up in my list of search engines?

    I installed a toolbar from Inboxdollars and since then every time I search for something it uses as my search engine something associated wit yahoo called serp.freecause.com and then I get the "problem loading page" message because it can't find the server at that address. I've uninstalled the toolbar and even took yahoo off my list of search engines. But nothing gets rid of it. Any suggestions?

    I ran a complete scan with Norton Antivirus. Cleaned the Registry, history, temporary files and did a Virus Scan. It actually worked. I did not install anything to get this, but used an unprotected Wireless network and I think that/s how I picked it up.

  • 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.

  • How can I go back to default settings or uninstall completely then re-install-on MAC OS X 10.6.8

    I used to be asked to allow or temporarily allow each site I visited.
    I am no longer getting these anywhere and prefer going back so I can choose which sites to allow. I also cannot get JavaScript to work--I've enabled it and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling to
    no avail...and yet I have no problem using JavaScript on Safari.

    Which data are you referring to?
    Is that about cookies or other things like JavaScript that you mention?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
