Hello pall4fun66, It appears that your problem is with your search engine configuration. Some malware modify your browser configuration and usually make some changes (homepage, search engine profile...) In order to reestablish your old configuration you have to take the following steps: 1) Type about:config at the address-bar <br> 2) Enter and search for keyword.URL and make double click on it <br> 3) Now you have to change the written value for this one: https://www.google.com/webhp?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8 By doing this, you will now set up again google as your search engine and anytime you write anything on your address-bar, it will lead you to google. NOTE: IF you don't want to change your search engine to Google, you can use one of these too as you wish: <del>For Scroogle, enter http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=</del> (Discontinued) <br> For Bing, enter http://bing.com/results.aspx?q= <br> For Ixquick, enter http://ixquick.com/do/metasearch.pl?cat=web&query= <br> For Yahoo!, enter http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= <br> For DDG (DuckDuckGo), enter https://duckduckgo.com/?q= Should you have any question just feel free to ask, Thanks for sharing!
