What is the McAffee thing do? It seems like the hijacker is associated with it.

@Jay_Rule Месяц назад

It's an antivirus software like Norton

@graphicContrast Месяц назад

It's the program(perhaps free trial) that sets the secure search. Everytime it updates it will set it back to secure search unless you uninstall it. It's not a virus or a hijacker. It's an anti-virus program that makes a few cents for setting your search to secure search.

@Jay_Rule Месяц назад

@@graphicContrast Yes. It's like a safe mode search. McAfee is the creator of this safe search.

@HigginsBiggins 9 месяцев назад

@Jay_Rule 9 месяцев назад

It modifies your browser settings without your knowledge or permission. That's why it's classified as a potentially unwanted application (PUA). Such malware can change your default browser settings, homepage, and the URLs of your new tabs.

@JewrasticPark 11 дней назад

It works but temporarily; eventually after a week or month it goes back; you gotta find the virus ; not w windows security since it’s weak

Even though Yahoo is a completely harmless site, redirects to another search engine can be alarming. Search engine changes can signal that malware may have infected your browser.
