Hi Stanton,
Which Sophos Product are you using? Did you recently download anything online?

I have Sophos Home.
I thought I was upgrading my Adobe but downloaded a nasty Adware that has taken over my search engine and won't let me delete it or replace it.
Sophos has scanned my computer a few times and thinks it's not an adware which is really disappointing.
First, what browser are you using? And what's your operating system? Are you able to see what browser extensions are installed that you might be able to remove? If you're using Windows, CCleaner has the ability to remove any browser extension you may have.

i'm using Chrome. When I go to manually remove, the ability to do so is disabled and you can't remove ChumSearch as the defualt browser. Two scan softwares don't pick it up as adwar (Sophos included). It's embeded and even a system reset won't remove it
Hi Stanton Jones,
Did you try to manually change the default search engine and homepage in chrome? Also, check for extensions.
1. Open chrome> options> Settings > manager search engines> remove any unknown/ unwanted entries.
2. Open chrome> options > more tools> Extensions> Remove any unknown/ Unwanted entries.
