Malware redirects me to another webpage
When I browse, it redirects me to another webpage. How do I get rid of this? I have Catalina.

you have installed adware/malware:
>System Preferences>Profiles click into it and then remove all the suspicious things from the list. (This Preference pane will not be present if no profiles found.)
also Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:
>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box
Adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.
(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)

Thank you. I deleted one suspicious thing in profiles. Had SOCKS proxy unchecked already. Also downloaded the trial for malwarebytes. Hopefully this will solve the problem, Leroy.
