Strange things going on when using my browser. Help!
I have a very strange situation. Here is event sequence.
From the time I was forced to do a factory reinstallation my bookmarks had to be reconstructed
This morning I browsed to the Citizens Advice pages to check on a matter of consumer law, and having got the info, continued other activities. Later to find that the Citizens Advice page had become the opening page of Chrome rather than Google. It seemed impossible to correct.
Thinking I could be infected, I first downloaded Panda, and when the download gave trouble, tried to get it via FileHippo, which is acting like the Citizens Advice above.
As far as my bookmarks are concerned, something else odd has happened: the new list has been replaced by the one that existed before the reinstallation. However Yahoo Search (x2) is now showing along with Google on opening the Chrome browser.
I have scanned with AVG, the only thing that gave no problem, cleared history and Chrome cache.
Although this computer is being replaced soon, I can’t accept it as is until then. I hope you can help me find a solution; please!
