And wanted to add, I just searched for this stamplive, and see that it is a common malware problem, but I don't know what site to go to that isn't itself malware, to find a solution, so I figure I'll wait for your response haha :-)
Thanks

WOW... Two things...
1) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...er-info-dialog I just got this random feeling... I'm sure LOTS of people have Lastpass, have Any.Do, have Pocket, have Pushbullet, have Pinterest, etc, but probably not a lot of people have Chrome Notepad which is an extension I've had forever, but I certainly don't know anyone else with it... It's got a great overall rating, but check out the reviews. All the recent ones say it installs malware in recent updates! So I think I know what the culprit was maybe. I just removed it from Chrome.
2) I went to where you can manage your cookies and removed the cookies for that stamplive.com ... I hope that's OK. Probably should have waited on your suggestion for that one.
Stamplive is the culprit, does this happen with all three browsers or just chome ??
Internet Explorer
- Open Internet Explorer
- Click on Tools up on the top right
- Click on Manage Add Ons from the dropdown list
- In this window you can manage the Internet Explorer add-ons
- Click on Search Providers
- Click on the option Toolbars and Extensions on left side of the window.
- Then click on the malicious items to remove Stamplive
- Make Google you default
- Close IE and then open it again and see if Stamplive are gone
Chrome

- Click on Settings
- Then Manage Search Engines
- Highlight Stamplive and select Delete
- Then go to Other Search Engines and remove all you dont want
Firefox
- Open Firefox
- Up on the Top Right in the Search Box , click on the down arrow and select Manage Search Engines
- Highlight Stamplive and select Delete
IE:
The only thing I find is under Toolbars and Extensions are Smart.Recovery 2 and GBHO.BHO. I hit disable on them.
Chrome:
Stamplive was NOT in there (maybe because I already deleted cookies?). I'm surprised at the huge list of "other search engines" though... I could go through and delete them all... I just deleted a bunch of suspicious looking ones that aren't sites I regularly go to.
And I don't have Firefox.
OK, lets just hang on a day or so and see if it comes back
