https everywhere add-on

[slowto280]

Windows 7 computer (latest or semi-latest Explorer) - my Google search results are redirected back to a new (I open in new tab) page which is the same as my original search page, before I search.

If I type in 'pprune' in search bar, search for it, and then open a link from the list, it opens up as the blank original search page with 'pprune' in the search bar.

Places talk about deactivating 'https everywhere', but I am unable to locate exactly where to go to do that. (from Cheech and Chong years back - 'a lot of people say it was the 500 acid trips I took, but.....')

Can any of you computer experts explain it to this 'novice', step by step?

Thanks in advance! :8

Https Everywhere is an add-on for Firefox and Chrome, not IE. Since you say you use IE, it's not relevant to your issue.

I suspect the "search bar" is the problem
Most of these are third party hijack tools and don't actually add any value to the PC
Uninstall any and all toolbars, set your default search engine to Google or Bing in the Internet Settings menu, and ideally search from the Google web page - not from a menu bar
