That's malware. Instructions for removal here:

Anyone else get this?
Using Chrome on an old macbook. The search bar keeps defaulting back to Yahoo search engine so I have to keep going into the chrome settings to disable something called 'mainsearchcharacter' and changing it back to google rather than default.
Thought this was related to a plugin so I've tried deleting those, but it just keeps coming back. Been going on for about 6 months. Not sure if it's doing it every Monday - need to keep tabs on it.
Macbook is old. I try not to update software as it (mostly) still works like a dream and I don't want to run into issues with it not being compatible with new stuff. I'm not tech savvy if it's not obvious.
EDIT - if it's mega complex no worries and I'll live with it.
