I've been facing a weird issue where every time I try to search using Google, some Yahoo links show up instead. I've already set Google as my default search engine, and while my homepage is still Google, it just doesn't seem to work right. I've looked into it a bit, and some folks are saying it could be malware, but my scans haven't picked up anything. I'm pretty confused here and could really use some help to sort this out!

I've faced this issue before, and it's usually linked to having some kind of virus. If things don’t clear up after checking the settings, you might want to think about uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome to reset everything.
It sounds like you might need to check your default search settings in Google Chrome specifically, not just your homepage. The homepage only sets what you see when you open the browser, but the search provider controls where your searches go. Be cautious about any pop-ups asking to change settings—always hit cancel on those!
Yeah, I agree! There's actually a guide on Google Chrome that walks you through the steps. It helps a lot!
