I have the same problem occurring on my desktop in both Chrome and Edge. I just rebuilt my system about 2 weeks ago with a new SSD and windows 10 OS. The problems with my previous HDD may or may not have been related to this problem, but I was experiencing issues with that set-up especially in chrome. When running Chrome I would get high levels of CUP usage. This would cause my system to become unusable at times. Ultimately CHKDSK revealed that there may been disk problems so I went down that path and replaced my OS HDD with a new SSD. I did not restore the system, I rebuilt by loading a new OS and reinstalling some of the apps. That was a little history on my system...
Now I am experiencing redirects to grimsurveys,com when I am on the comcast website sitting idle. Lately it is occurring more frequently. Yesterday when I turned on my screen after being on all night there was a warning message indicating my data would be lost, passwords taken and such. The infection was a variant of yahlover.worm malware. I used CCleaner and mallwarebites and nothing was found. I searched various remedies and found that some think its a website attack and nothing on my computer needs to be cleaned. This morning I received a Mallwarebites notification of a block of a malicious web site. I assume it was the yahlover.worm attack again. Mallwarebites hasn't blocked the grimsurvey redirects...
In my estimation this is all related. I am interested in finding a solution. If not I will rebuild my system again and to determine if there is still a problem.
Is there firmware or something outside of the disk storage system that could be infected and could propagate a problem from the old disk to the new disk?
