Browser Reset

Clear out unwanted extensions

Pop-ups, a changed homepage, or a search engine you didn't pick usually come from a bad extension. A reset clears them out. For your safety, browsers only let you do this yourself, so follow the steps below for your browser.

Extensions came back, or you see “Managed by your organization”?

On a home computer, that usually means a program has installed a policy that forces the extension back after every reset. Resetting the browser won't fix it. The program needs to be removed from the computer itself, which is a job for a full malware cleanup.

What a browser can't see

Browsers wall websites off from your files and system for your protection. That means no website, including this one, can truly scan for:

  • Viruses, malware, and ransomware
  • Failing hard drives (SMART health)
  • Slow startup programs and bloatware
  • Missing Windows or macOS updates
  • Whether your backups actually work

Any site that claims to find viruses from inside your browser is a scam. Close it.
