Unwanted search engines -i have 3 of them so far how i do i get rid of the bloody things?????
i;ve disabled them , removed them , uninstalled them, blocked them - but sooner or later they still keep coming back
Useless scans won't pick them up either
I have to manually delete setting and reset defaults .Is there an option to stop these Unwanted search engines

What do you mean?

In your browser (which one), and as a toolbar ad-on (extra search box) or a changed default search?

Does someone using the PC look at a lot of porn?

Dodgy websites tend to install these things.

This is the Computer Games section.

Open your browser and click on toolbars etc and unclick the ones you don't won't to use.

Or

Unistall programs and delete the unused ones.

But if there dodgy ones the install malware bytes and give it a scan to remove them.

Tried all that - they are like the monsters in Hollywood movies -no matter how many times you kill them, they keep coming back
Again and again...
