Yesterday I installed a video player. During the installation, I was offered to change my default search engine, and I left this option selected. I found tapxchange.com as Chrome’s startup page. I thought I could set another engine easily, but I can’t. Could you tell me how to switch back to Google?

First of all, we want to remind you to be more careful next time with software installation. You can not only install suspicious browser hijacker just like Tapxchange.com but malicious programs as well.
The problem with this search engine is that it may have installed helper objects and additional components that protect it and prevent you from setting Google as your default one. This program is known as a browser hijacker, and we have analyzed it already in the article Tapxchange.com. How to remove? (Uninstall guide).
The quickest method to get rid of this application is to scan the computer with the anti-malware program. However, if you do not want to use additional software, you should follow manual removal guidelines presented in the previously mentioned article.
Sincerely,
