Browsers freezing - Pup.Optional.Legacy - Ask / Aol

[CleoLynx]

I am experiencing issues all browsers not loading any websites or after AdwCleaner maybe only once. Malwarebytes never pulls anything and AdwCleaner picks up the following: 

After scan and restart to clean AdwCleaner shows cleaned but then all issues appears again when I run AdwCleaner again. I know I have seen you folks have a user run Farbar recovery scan tools - upload logs and prepare a fixit list to run. Will this help me here? Thank you for any help you can provide!
