Hello team!

Good day! I've been having this problem where chrome redirects me to yahoo when I search on the chrome address bar or even in the google homepage. I've tried searching for other options online and none of them works. I checked the installed files and I don't see anything suspicious. I've also been encountering a lot of unwanted pop-ups on random websites even in youtube. I saw one thread in here where the user experiences the same issue as I do but the thread specifically states that the fix was exclusively for the thread starter. I was hoping to get some help as I've been dealing with this for a while now. Thank you and have a great day guys!

I attached the report. seems like it's good. I have a few more questions though.

- whenever my browser goes idle for a few minutes then I click on ANY spot on the screen, I get annoying pop-ups
- should I keep this AntiMalware with my current AntiVirus? Im a little concern about conflicts or resource consumption.

Thanks again sir!
