Any search I do in Mozilla through Google or in the small search window in Yahoo goes to an Alphashopper URL.
Does not happen (yet) in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge, only Mozilla Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox, then re-installed it and it still happens.
search in Firefox always finds nothing, goes to unwanted URL

The Malwarebyte scan didn't find anything. The adwCleaner found 1 item and removed it, after restarting the same issue was still happening. I also installed McAfee, but a McAfee scan didn't find anything.
Finally though Firefox showed me a warning icon in the upper left corner, which when I clicked on it showed me a list of programs I am running, one was McAfee Webadvisor, one was called "Prosurf by Bruno". I removed Prosurf and the Firefox search results went back to normal. No more redirecting to strange URLs, so it appears the problem was Prosurf.
Thank you for your help in finding this, I'm not sure what program finally identified the Prosurf program, I wasn't getting that warning or able to see that list of programs that Prosurf was on before today.
