All my browsers and computers were secure until last week. Recently my laptop was used by my cousin to watch live cricket in YouTube for couple of days. Now, all of a sudden, everything has changed. Whatever i search in Google automatically goes to some weird search engine and i see only advertisements related to the keyword. I tried to remove all add ons but this is not helping. Is it safe to restore for a earlier point or is there any way to reset browsers so that browsers will restore original behaviour. All antivirus checks says nothing. Please help.
