speckytecky Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Our Art Teacher has a Macbook Air and both in school and at home her Safari Browser Search Tool keeps reverting to Yahoo. She is pretty switched on with Macs and all attempts by her so far haven't resolved this one. Any suggestions please?
tmoon-mint Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Could be a browser hijacker that is making the change. Can you run a malware scan on the device? 1
2ilent8cho Posted November 15, 2016 Posted November 15, 2016 Just to confirm is this setting? If so i would try closing Safari, delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.safari.plist 1
speckytecky Posted November 15, 2016 Author Posted November 15, 2016 Yep, That's the one she uses. Every time she set's it to Google then it flips back to Yahoo. Just to confirm is this setting?

Brimstone Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 Likely Adware or Cookie issue, I'd reset Safari. 1
Arthur Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Every time she sets it to Google then it flips back to Yahoo. Does she have Java installed? That can change the search engine and/or the homepage to Yahoo. You need to check the box pictured below to get it to stop. http://i.imgur.com/3Z0u4nX.png Edited November 19, 2016 by Arthur 2
