Why do new tabs redirect to the search engine Yeppo? And how do I fix it?
Whenever I open a new tab it automatically redirects to the search engine Yeppo

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
