Thanks. I have installed several anti virus APPs, trying Avast Mobile Security, AVG, and yesterday a CyberPal suggested Kaspersky. None see anything, saying the tablet is clean, yet there it is, when I click and do a search on that GOOGLE APP, "V9," comes up as the search engine., and this "PCRISK" site tells you how to remove it from every Browser (I have easily done it from my PCs), but there is nothing in this site specific to Android tablets www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/6896-remove-v9-com-redirect). Now even, "PCRISK," says it is not a virus, calling it a legit site, albeit a hijacker, but many disagree. I am beginning to think that my particular brand, "Nobis," tablet was manufactured that way, which is why doing a hard reset did not clear it, as their support person said it should. Even the little booklet that came with it, pointing out that little ICON (Search) in their PICs calls it, "Google Search." As far as SAFE Mode, I believe that is also in the Menu you get going into a HARD RESET, holding down both the Volume button and Power Button, at he same time, till it goes into that. That is how you HARD RESET it.

P.S. Tomas>>I forgot to mention that I also have run Malwarebytes, several times. And I just Googled how to get into SAFE MODE in an Android Tablet, but I don't see the point. I know for a fact that there are no PUAs there. Only APPs on that tablet are the built in ones, and a couple a three that I installed only from the Google Web Store, and those were mostly the anti viruses, MalwareBytes. I also had pinger.com's, "TextFree," now removed, as soon as I realized how to use my HANGOUTS properly. Nothing, NO APPs, there that should not be. And as I mentioned, that V9 only comes up when opening and searching using the GOOGLE Search APPs, nowhere else. When I did that last HARD RESET, holding the Volume & Power Buttons down till that screen came up, after I came out of it, not doing ANYTHING, not updating, installing a thing, I went right to that built in GOOGLE APPs to do a search, expecting to see V9 gone, supposedly being back to FACTORY SETTINGS, and V9 was there right off the bat :-)
