I will be on the google website, search something and it switches to search encrypt when I click enter. I do not like search encrypt and just want to use google. It’s very frustrating - please help.

Hi,

Let's see if we can get rid of that malware :

Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same in your system's Control Panel.

However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

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

This should help you to get rid of the nuisance .....
