Hello nannette6209,

Re: Oursurfing.com

"When installing new software or updates be watchful for the inclusion of toolbars or other software, including browsers and add-ons which may change your default homepage or search engine.

Avoid clicking through in a hurry without looking for pre-checked boxes and reading the small print or you may end up with an unwanted program. One that could be time consuming to remove.

Choose a custom install if offered so one can opt-out of any unwanted third party software or additions. Some users may find the offers useful but make sure you know what you are agreeing to."

Please refer to the forum FAQ and the instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are used in the preliminary analysis.

Then start a new topic providing the logs as shown in that FAQ and a volunteer analyst will advise. :)

Best regards.
