my issue began an hour ago after clicking a link on reddit, My Chrome and Edge started stating that it was managed by an organization, had "Guardian Angel" extension installed, and kept redirecting to the Boyu website whenever I search something. I ran norton antivirus and it failed to resolve the issue but did remove several other viruses i got.

i ran FRST and got the 2 files its scan creates which i will add as attachments
