Yahoo hijacked my homepage...
Last response: in Applications
I have been using my computer for several months and I prefer to use Google chrome as my browser. With that being said, I like my homepage at www.google.com but now, ever since installing a program (I think it might be Skype) my homepage is Yahoo! Web Search. Google.com does open, but in a new tab and it is quite annoying to have to change tabs every time that I get on chrome. I have tried going into my settings, and I have www.google.com set as my homepage and even after managing my search engines in Chrome so that Yahoo is not listed it continues to stay like this. I have gone to control panel as well but there is no yahoo engine installed, even under another name. Does anyone know how to fix this?

When installing skype and some other programs like java, be sure to check for additional installations. These programs like to install 3rd party crap like the yahoo toolbar or the ask toolbar. Be sure to uncheck these items when installing.
Go into chrome's addons/extensions and disable or remove the yahoo stuff.
