scan your system with:

• https://www.malwarebytes.com/

• https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

• https://www.hitmanpro.com/en-us/hmp.aspx

use malwarebytes in safe mode and normal mode.

I already tried that, but all programs are reporting my system to be clean... I also scanned in safe mode...

Please note that firefox settings are also being returned to defaults, also resetting firefox isnt fixing the problem

can paste the report of adwcleaner?

Firefox isnt on the start up list...

Its worth noting that I tried to uninstall and reinstall firefox, but that didnt change anything
