I have run scans through Kaspersky and tried to delete it but have been unsuccessful.
Kaspersky has blocked downloads from the extension but otherwise seems harmless other than it redirects my browser to bing which has become so annoying.
Any help would be great appreciated

Hi,

Sorry for this delay. I have been sick with COVID. Getting better now.

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The Computer will restart when the fix is completed.

It will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.

Please post the Fixlog.txt and let me know what problem persists.
