Google page has gone wrong

My google home page has changed, and I didn't change it, and I can't change it back to how it was.

I've got a new toolbar that suddenly appeared at the top, when I search for anything, I don't get anything of any use now and most of the results are in America, and the suggested search results are yellow now instead of black.

The new toolbar is called 'HowToSimplified' by myway. It has a big shortcut bar to How To, Do it Yourself, How to videos, Trip Advisor, Facebook, You Tube, Groupon, Amazon, Gmail, and Yahoo.

I didn't download it, I don't want it, and I can't find it to uninstall it. It's slowed any searches I make down to the point I give up sometimes.

It's completely different to what I had yesterday, so where has it come from, why have I got it and how do I get rid of it. I don't like it and don't want it.

I'm running Windows 10 Home, with automatic updates and automatic updates from Asus, and I use Mozilla Firefox, with automatic updates.

Is there an IT genius on here who can tell me what's happened, and how to get my laptop back to how it was.

Thanks for any help, I don't know what the fu*k I'm doing when something like this happens

Brian..

That's a link to an attack site Phil, he'll just get more malware

MyWay toolbar is easy to remove

Download adwCleaner to your desktop.


  • Close all open programs and internet browsers.
  • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
  • Click the Scan button and wait for the process to complete.
  • Click the logfile button and the log will open in Notepad.
  • Click on the Clean button follow the prompts.
  • A log file will automatically open after the scan has finished and the PC has rebooted.
  • Please post the content of that log file here
  • The report will be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.
 
Re: Google page has gone wrong

Thanks Roger. I did what you suggested, and after a couple of tries...it's gone. It came back after the first attempt, but I ran it again and it hasn't reappeared...yet.

I can't seem to find the location of that log file.

Brian.

Found it. I haven't got the slightest idea what all this means. I expect you know exactly what you're looking at. I hate computers.
Thanks again....all seems back to normal again....for now.

Re: Google page has gone wrong

It's cleaned out your browser OK. Is the problem sorted
 
Re: Google page has gone wrong

Yes Roger, the problem appears to be sorted.
Thank you.

Brian.
 
Re: Google page has gone wrong

Hi Roger, I wasn't having any problems but it found 68 threats, so did as you explained and got the file up after the clean and reboot. Cheers. :D

Bit like the old Adaware. I still use Spybot and CCleaner. I'll have to do a comparison one of these days.
 
Re: Google page has gone wrong

I wouldn't bother with Spybot Tom, these days it's pretty much useless. MBAM is the best going
