There's a strange line of text at the top of my screen that types whenever I type something. It acts like a spotlight search bar and often opens apps I don't mean to open (for example, I type "face" in my browser and hit enter to go to Facebook. Facebook opens on my browser, but FaceTime also opens because that bar of text thinks I want to open FaceTime). I can't get rid of the text no matter what I try.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?
Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
EtreCheck is a simple little app to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac.

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.
There is also Malwarebytes...
