Ran the AVG scan which found 5 Trojan Horses. After deleting them, everything returned to normal. This google hijack apparently started showing up just in the past few weeks.
Our 3 teenage granddaughters are here visiting and using the computer constantly so I assume some site one of them went to loaded the trojan horses.
Just something to watch out for. Makes you want to strangle (or worse) the person doing this crap.
