Search Engine

[malana3]

My usual search engine when I log onto the internet is Google. For some reason it has switched to Ask. How do I get back to Google please.

do you mean you had Google as your home page, the one that comes up when you log on to the internet?

[malana3]

That's correct jno

Which browser are you using? It's usually easy to manage your home page and search engines. Has the Ask toolbar also been installed?

May I recommend Unchecky which will assist when it comes to installing software so that you don't end up with unwanted extra bits and pieces in future http://unchecky.com/

I'm on Firefox. I go to Tools (at the top of the page) then Options then General and it lets me name any page I like as a home page

Thank you all for your responses, a weekend visit by my 12 year old nephew and job sorted. I don't understand what he did but things are back to normal,
