Bangalore Bob strikes again. It may or may not be in your browser temp cache (likely is). First advice: stay off porn and click-bait sites. Second: download and run JetClean, Junkware Removal Tool, and AdwCleaner. Reboot. It's gone. One tidbit - before you kick off AdwCleaner, click on the Options dropdown, and unselect 'clear DNS cache'. It's notorious for jacking up your network settings. Trust me, I've been doing this for a paycheck for years.

Load Malware Bytes running in Safe mode. Then be sure you are running a good anti-virus and I don’t mean Mcafee or Norton. AVG, Microsoft are both superior.

Right before I saw your post I had managed to start Windows Defender. It’s running now. I’ll see if it finds and removes any nastiness when it concludes, and if not, I’ll definitely try your suggestions.

Good advice - bears repeating or even putting in my posting history for reference. Thank you!

I, too, am doing a reference ping on your post. Never heard of JetClean. I'm going to run it right now. Then, on to the next one. Thanks!
