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...
Or use the paperclip at the bottom of a Reply to attach the full report here. :)
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 free Malwarebytes which may take care of it...

If your browser prefs are locked down, you'll probably find the reason in System Preferences > Profiles.
Remove all profiles you don't recognize, then run something like DetectX to clear out the persistence agents.
