Just looked into this specific "extension" &amp; suspect while temporarily borrowing my computer, my husband may have unintentionally added it as it is linked to Yahoo, his preferred search. Oh joy.

</p><p>You have heard of the <strong>fine print in shady</strong>

to look at the <strong>itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print. </strong>
</p><p>You are thinking you are giving the installer
permission to install the program you want by

</p><p>From now on, everyone needs to <strong>Use The Manual Option</strong>
to put a stop to this.

Some more information about this specific add-on can be found <a href="https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-specialsearchoffer-search/" rel="nofollow">on the MalwareTips website</a>.
</p><p>It appears that you will need to remove whatever program installed the add-on there to begin with. If you have removed the program still can't get the add-on off of your computer, see <a href="/en-US/kb/cannot-remove-add-on-extension-or-theme" rel="nofollow">Cannot remove an add-on (extension or theme)</a>.
</p><p>Even if you manage to remove the program that installed the add-on, I still highly recommend scanning your computer with an additional malware scanner. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
