    Chrome - Link being hijacked


    I was on this site this morning. Down the page was this link- http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SG1.../dp/B001EVGIYG. Clearly an Amazon link, however, when I clicked on it I was sent to the Walmart website for the same product. I mouse overed the link and it still shows this to be a Amazon link.

    Thinking this was a browser thing I opened this page in MS Edge. When I clicked on the link it correctly took me to Amazon. Viola! It is a Chrome browser issue! Not so fast. When I tried the same in MS IE it took me to the Walmart site.

    Can someone tell me what is happening here?

    :)

    Browser hijackers     don't show this kind of behavior and more could be going on. Normally I don't suggest Resetting your computer but in this case....

    Bing Hijacked my Chrome Browser

    Hi Aiden,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    As you are facing issue with Browser homepage, do let us know the following to assist you better:

    • Which browser pops-up after the Windows startup (Microsoft Edge/ Internet Explorer)?
    • Which is the default web browser on your computer?

    I suggest you to make Google Chrome as a default web browser also, try to edit the home page in Google Chrome and check if it helps.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue to assist you further.
