Hi Balasubramanian,
I've already reset that too, and it still persists. Also, I'm using the free version, if that helps.

If you reset your browser your saved bookmarks and passwords will get deleted. If it is okay for you to reset the browser, please go ahead for it and let us know the status.
Please mention whether you are using the free, trial or paid version?
It's been about two days since I noticed my Google Chrome has been redirecting to tech-connect.biz website instead of my set google homepage on start up. I already ran AVG security twice, as well as PC analysis, deleted and re-added my google profiles ( with different emails ), deleted and disabled extensions as well as tried to find the malware myself on the pc. I fear there's still some leftovers that the antivirus run has bypassed. Help before it gets worse?
