    Not sure if this is where this thread should go but...

    A couple of weeks ago I tried to download SAI paint tool, and of course being me I screwed up and downloaded a virus. It's pretty harmless but will not go away. I use Google Chrome and when you type something in the address bar, it usually uses google as the search engine. After I got the virus the search engine suddenly switched to Yahoo. I went into settings, changed it back to Google, but still went back to Yahoo. Not only does this mess up my search engine, it doesn't let me change some controls. I tried changing the speed of my mouse, but after a few minutes it went back to its original settings. Screenshot (19).png

    So my next step was to get rid of it with Anti-Malaware and Adwcleaner. After cleaning my computer and getting rid of the virus, it went back to Google as its search engine. A couple of days later, it came back. I've done this so many times but it will not go away. I looked it up online, and found nothing. Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

    It's pretty easy, just uninstall the virus on your computer. I had over 200+ viruses at one stage.. had to uninstall all of them, and it worked. Not sure if it will work for you but just give it a shot! Sorry if it doesn't work.

    It's not a program you download. I just clicked the little windows thingo, went to Control Panel > Uninstall a program, then BOOM! I did it. It might be different to you because you have a window 8? I've got windows 7.
