Ah. That's 99% likely to be a malware issue. Run MalwareBytes from https://www.malwarebytes.com and see if that helps.

Why don't you post the etrecheck report so we can peruse it...


Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.

actually not so good...it came back today!

So I went back to firefox preferences, security and chose custom. Selected everything but cookies. Seems to be working. I believe someone is using yahoo mail as a portal. No telling what would happen if I clicked "open" on these things.

Have used norton as well Malwarebytes and trendmicro. Laptop appears to be virus free, although some were found with norton (probably just to make me feel good about buying it..lol.)

Isn't anyone else having this issue. Searches bring up very little (just this thread!). helpppp!
