I assume this is one of the search engine redirects. Anyways, this might be a long shot, but you should check first if there is a configuration profile set on your mac.


  1. Open system preferences.
  2. Look for "Profiles"
  3. If you see one, open it, select the unknown profile and remove it.

  1. Launch Chrome.
  2. Type “chrome://extensions” into the address bar.
  3. Look for an extension that you haven’t installed and that looks suspicious.
  4. Click Remove next to the extension.
  5. Type “chrome://settings” into the address bar.
  6. Scroll down to “On-startup.”
  7. If the setting has been changed, change it back to your preferred homepage.
  8. Go back to settings and select “search engine.”
  9. Press “manage search engines” and then the drop-down menu next to “search engine used in the address bar” the choose the one you want to use.
