I would do a scan of any PCs connected to the system. Use both anti malware and "MalwareBytes". You may find something.
Besure to empty ALL browser caches as well.

Thanks for letting me know. Using Eset Smart Security as it is the best I have found.

I have sometihng I think is malware on one of my computers, and trying to clean that (although software said it wasn't a virus, it was behaving like one. A .pdf that is named close to another .pdf I have, and is 10x the size of that one. Can't be moved or deleted because it is in use even with every browser and Adobe process stopped.)
