Using Edge, and now Chrome, the search engine briefly displays "myhoroscopepro.com" then directs to yahoo.
Underneath the setting tab of Edge it shows that my browser is managed. I've looked into previous threads regarding this issue; however, I am still at a loss as these have proved no solution.

I saw a victory regarding the thread: myhoroscopepro.com hijacks search engine [Solved] - Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal (geekstogo.com) where DR M successfully helped someone with my same problem using Farbar Recovery Scan Tool.

I am hoping someone can use the same strategy to help me resolve this issue.

Hello. 
 
Welcome to GTG Forums.  :) 

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.

If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

  • Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.

(To attach the files, click on the More Reply Options at the bottom right of the reply area, and then choose Attach File)
