    I think we can close this out now.

    • Double-click DelFix.exe to run the programme.
    • Place a checkmark next to the following items:

    • Click the Run button.
    • -- This will remove the specialized tools we used to disinfect your system.
      Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually (right-click the file + delete
      ).

    Follow the instructions in the thread below. Make sure to download the MBAR version linked in it.
    Pay no attention to the title of the topic.

    Run the scan, delete everything it finds, and then copy/paste the content of the mbar-log-DATE-(TIME).txt log that is located in the MBAR folder here after.

    I was just on yahoo .com
    "scareware." Designed to generate alerts and scare you to the point where you will contact and pay for the removal of infections that do not exist.
    There was an active java script on that page.

    Hardening your web browser means to install extensions that will help it protect itself (and your system on the same occasion) against Exploit Kits, MiTM attacks, etc. but also you at the same time. Here are a few extensions that I recommend you to install.
    • uBlock Origin: Efficient multi-purpose blocker that is lightweight on RAM and CPU usage (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera and most Chromium and Firefox-based browsers)
      Read over the link below

    • NoScript: NoScript is a script blocker (Java, Flash, JavaScript, etc.) for Mozilla Firefox and Firefox-based browsers (Mozilla Firefox and Firefox-based web browsers)

    Try this link for Kaspersky
    https://usa.kaspersky.com/downloads/...s-removal-tool

    Myself I use Firefox
    https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

    Try it and see if you like it.
    Many addons can be applied.

    I cannot do anything with the report, but it says no threats found...

    It seems to be ok again, just weird that it randomly redirected twice after being good for a day or so.

    I guess I will try a different browser and see if that helps.

    No threats found is good news.

    Also try the script blocker, it can stop a ton of pop ups.
