Just uninstall the offending extensions if present and manually change your search engine back to Google.

I have no extensions right now, the virus is still there tho isn't it?

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

If the only thing left is that your search engine is Yahoo, that is likely left over from a malicious extension that is no longer installed. Just change it back to Google.

The only thing left is the false positives and the yahoo change was kinda long ago, so I guess the virus is just in google files but only like one code of it and it isn't functional

It's not actually possible for malware to have injected itself into your sync data, it's limited to installing extensions and changing options like your search engine and home page. Also remove any search engines in Settings > Search Engine > Manage Search Engines.

It's empty there my guess is that it actually did save in the settings sync but idk
