It is ridiculous that my default search engine has been changed to be another one called Istsearch.com. I didn’t use it before and this search engine doesn’t give me any correct search result. I want to delete it and set it back to Google, but I don’t know how to do it. Can anyone help me, please?

However, if it becomes your default search engine, you will find that it is useless.

Those webpages are full of malware, viruses, sometimes those malware or viruses can automatically activate and install on your computer without your notice once you visit.
