Why can't I change my homepage? - Nicole - 02-28-2014 06:13 PM
Okay so normally when I open a new tab (on Google Chrome) it will take me to google.com and also show me my recently visited pages. Well now when I open a new tab it shows me a blank search bar with an advertisment on top and bottom of the search bar. In the right corner it says 'results powered by Bing'. I clicked settings, advanced, apperance, then change homepage, and I typed "www.google.com" and clicked ok and nothing happened. I also tried to change it to Facebook and nothing changed...help me!!

You might be infected with the so called browser hijacker. You can follow the step by step guide in the below article - it should fix the problem

I believe this is due to an offending extension installed in your Chrome. Try disabling ALL extensions in your chrome browser.

I think if you remove google chrome then again install then you can choose your homepage.
