So, my mom is having troubles with Google Chrome on her laptop. Every time she uses the address as a search bar, it takes her to a page totally unrelated to what she wants to search. I typed in random words and it took me to places like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Yahoo! News. I looked in her options but everything looks just fine.
Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

options -> manage search engines
See if there's a whole lot of them, and which one is default. On the top box put the one you want as default and delete the others. On the bottom, go through them and delete the ones you don't care about.
Also try to uncheck "Enable Instant for faster searching" if it's checked.

Maybe it's malware?
It used to mess up my searches when I had it.
