I've been struggling with a frustrating issue for over a year now. Every time I try to search for something, my browser automatically redirects to Yahoo, even though I've set Google as my default search engine. I have to manually type in google.com, but when I do, I get a popup saying 'your connection is not private.' I can bypass it by selecting 'this is unsafe,' but it's really annoying. Additionally, I can't click on images when I search, and it seems like the Google AI feature has stopped working for me. I'm worried this might be due to malware, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

If resetting the browser doesn't work, it might be worthwhile to check for any unwanted extensions or programs that could be redirecting your searches. A clean install of Windows could resolve all issues if things are really tangled up. You can find guides on reinstalling Windows online—like the one from RTech Support for Windows 11.
It sounds like you might have malware causing this problem. I recommend running a full scan with your antivirus software. Also, for the browser issue, try resetting your browser settings. If you're using Chrome, you can reset it by going to chrome://settings/reset and selecting 'Restore settings to their original defaults.' That should help!
I think your browser is directing you to a malicious search engine, which could explain the missing features. It's good to keep everything updated and consider a clean installation if the problem persists. Stay safe online!
