Persistent redirect in chrome to yahoo

Note: Please do not post Personally Identifiable Information like email address, personal phone number, physical home address, product key etc.

Issue abstract: Google Chrome is persistently redirecting to Yahoo, despite the fact I have tried Norton Power Eraser, and followed other instructions. I’ve run a scan, and Norton power eraser. I followed other steps online, without much success. I know this will teach me the hard way not to download dodgy software, but sometimes, the links look incredibly legit, or are intentionally misleading. Help is appreciated in advance.

Do you run Chrome sync?
Did you try resetting Chrome?

Did you run Malwarebytes scan?

Did you allow Push Notifications?

Hi BJM. Thanks so much for replying, I did run Malwarebytes, but i’ll follow the links you suggested as well, because Malwarebytes is usually pretty reliable. I’ll look up chrome sync, and resetting chrome, although i am pretty sure I did reset chrome. I’ll let you know how i went. Thank you!
