Trying to stop "search.hfreeliveradio.co" when I open new tab in Chrome

[terryfotre]

Malwarebytes scans do not detect this malware nor was I able to stop it from showing up each time I opened a new tab in Chrome, even after deleting Chrome and re-installing it twice.

See Set your homepage and startup page and perhaps Set your default search engine.

If alvarnell's suggestion doesn't work for you, you may have a rogue Chrome extension. New rogue Chrome extensions appear fairly frequently these days.

To troubleshoot your Chrome extensions, see:

https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1031

Please let us know if you're able to identify a particular Chrome extension as the culprit.

Thank you gentlemen.  Though alavarnel's approach was not successful (and I tried it several times), Thomas' suggestion to look for suspicious extensions (under the "Window" header drop-down "Extensions)) I immediately found one called "Free live Radio 1.0" Ah hah!  I deleted that and my problem was solved and have a good weekend!
