steve_b_wales Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 I use Google Chrome to surf the internet, but recently, when I click on the links that were provided via Google, and I click on a link, I get redirected to Bing.com and cannot proceed any further. I removed Bing.com via CCleaner, and all went well for awhile, then Bing.com installed itself again. Is there a way of stopping this?

bruno22rf Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 You may have downloaded some software that has bing as an add on - you should be able to set google as your default web browser in your internet options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Go to setting "top right" manage search engine remove unwanted set default to your chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Sometimes Windows updates will reset your settings for this kind of thing, bing being the Microsoft search engine it will always try to be the default. As said above goto the settings in chrome and set Google as your preferred search engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic69 Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Check your extensions from the top right, there could be one interfering with other settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 Downloaded some free software?? This usually happens after that - usually has a tick box pre-selected giving it permission to do this and a lot of people don't notice it and click install/next While in google settings check to make sure there are no addons that you don't recognize - if there are remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Bing.com has installed itself 3 times again today. It wouldn't be so bad, but when I click on something to search, and Bing.com takes over, it won't let me continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 sounds like you have some malware on your system - download Malware Bytes and give a scan and see what it comes up with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
