Cevap

Remove the suspicious browser add-on and reset the browser to default settings.
Removing the suspicious browser add-on directly eliminates the software component responsible for pop-ups and redirects, and resetting browser settings restores the legitimate default search engine and home page.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the cause of the redirect and pop-up behavior.
The unfamiliar browser add-on and modified search settings are confirmed as the source of the browser hijacking.
Unsolicited redirects and persistent pop-up windows following a toolbar installation typically stem from rogue extensions.
2
Remove the extension and restore default browser settings.
The unwanted add-on is uninstalled, and the default search provider and homepages are restored.
This directly remediates the browser hijacker at the application level.
