Good to see the fix worked — ’s removal step followed by a scan is exactly the right pattern for this class of problem. Browser hijacks that change the homepage or search provider are usually implemented by small add‑ons or registry tweaks that load with Internet Explorer (commonly called BHOs or PUP components). Removing the offending add‑on and re‑scanning often restores normal behavior. (malwarebytes.com)

To be sure there are no leftovers: run a current full scan with a reputable anti‑malware scanner, then reset the browser to defaults or run it in “no add‑ons” mode and remove any extensions you don’t recognize. Clear browser cache and DNS cache, inspect browser shortcut targets for appended URLs, and check the hosts file for unexpected redirects. Those steps catch both the visible symptoms and the less obvious persistence methods. (malwarebytes.com)

Prevent recurrence by avoiding bundled toolbars and unknown installers, using a non‑administrator account for everyday browsing, and keeping the OS, browser and anti‑malware signatures up to date. Periodic second‑opinion scans and a good PUA/PUP blocker reduce the chance of silent changes in the future. (us.norton.com)

If the homepage returns but any odd redirects, popups or search changes come back, repeat the removal in Safe Mode with networking and run another full scan. If a cleaned log is still showing unexpected entries, post the updated log (redact any personal data) so the community can confirm nothing persistent remains — the safe‑mode + rescan pattern that suggested is the right fallback.
