When I open a tab it goes to search.rsparks.com. How do I stop this
When I open a tab it goes to search.rsparks.com. How do I stop this Norton or any of the 5 malware checks didn't work. This started right after the last update a couple days ago. It's not a tool bar issue, I don't use any nor have I downloaded anything. I mostly use this computer to watch youtube.

That search.rsparks.com is a browser hijacker, that you will of course need to get rid of.
Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g. :
• SafeSearch Incognito • SearchAssist Incognito • File Convertor and Search Addon
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans, even though you've already run six scans : let's try again.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.

As you have done everything as suggested by Enigma, I can only think of refreshing Firefox : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
