Recently found all google searches on my preferred browser ending up with yahoo search results on my Windows 10 desktop. Checked all software for latest updates, ran full Defender scan, but could not restore the Google search engine.
Finally stumbled across this piece of software: "Swift Tab" and have no idea how it got there. Icon had label: "operatetoolfind" and pointed to a URL: **tp operatetoolfind info/search etc ...
It seems this software was the source of the browser hijacking and removing it has restored the google search engine. Not sure yet but may have to uncover the software it hitchhiked onto if it reappears?
