    Microsoft Hijacking My Laptop


    I had to download a bunch of Microsoft Apps for work but, I always use Google. Microsoft keeps hijacking my laptop and screwing everything up. How can I use the programs I need to but still have Google for all my other stuff stay intact. It's really pissing me off. It even overrides my desktop picture every time I restart my computer. I hate it.

    :)

    After reading what you went through I would strongly suggest you read the advice of Monkey57 and try his steps. Normally

    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....
