Hi, and thanks in advance for your help and advice.
I'm new to the forums and have a moderate amount of computer knowledge, so hopefully won't be too much of a pain

.

I seem to have obtained a browser hijack virus. When I search for information using browser searches, I end up on unknown websites that appear to be a variety of promotional sites. I've tried blocking those sites, but there are endless iterations of them. I have Spybot and run it regularly, but it doesn't seem to find this one. I also have Malwarebytes, and it also does not find it. Can you help me eradicate this booger?

Thank you!
Maggie
