Those links seem to adopt an 'overkill' approach. Simply running a decent anti-malware program (and, if necessary, resetting anything within your browser that's been changed, such as your home page) should be all that's needed to do the job.

If you've already got Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on your computer, run it. (I don't recommend it as a new program though, as it gives you a free trial of the 'Pro' version, which can slow some computers down). If not, download and run AdwCleaner. (There's no installation process. You simply run the downloaded file directly):

I take it that you have somewhere along the line let a "file converter" be installed. Some of these "free" extensions come with a price. I don't know how teched up you are but reading through this may give you a clue. Read through and find the method that appertains to your browser.

Absolutely agree with you Buenchico. All overkill. I seem to have solved the issue by studying the changes to my browser and have deleted any references that look like my file convert. I’ve done a restart and all seems to be well for the time being. If it reappears I’ve got Malwarebyte to fall back on. Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
