    It sounds like a possible browser hijacker: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/threats/browser-hijacker

    Malwarebytes has a free version. or TrendMicro, they bought out Hijack This! apparently https://www.trendmicro.com/en_us/forHome/products/free-tools.html

    Most malware scanner/ removal programs will find something like this. They are generally not very complex, compared to a virus.
