This didn't work for me and it installed 2 of them on my computer. I was able to take one off, but the other one is still on. It switches me to yahoo as well.

This useless extension redirected all my searches to search.mysecurify.com which brings me to Yahoo. If I wanted Yahoo I would have had Yahoo set as my default browser, but I don't. My default browser is Google Chrome. Wasted a significant amount of work time trying to figure out what messed up my searches since Google Chrome still showed as my default browser. Thanks for nothing.
