Why has "search Google for .... " suddenly become "search Fastsearch for ... "?

Worse still, "Fastsearch" doesn't even seem to be Google, it seems to be Yahoo. How did Yahoo hijack my browser like that? How can I re-Googlise my browser?

Download this and run it. You've probably installed some malware that installed some shitty extension.
If you can/want send post a screenshot of your installed programs on Windows and your extensions in Chrome.

@FrankietheFly There should be some little button saying "Run anyways" or something along those lines.

@FrankietheFly Gotta click on Run. SmartScreen probably only acted up because Microsoft wants to use Defender so they can more effectively collect your personal data :P
