Hi,

Your system details show that Search Encrypt is installed as an extension.

Go to the Firefox menu (≡) => Add-ons => Extensions Remove Search Encrypt and look for any other unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.

When you find any : remove them.

Do the same here : for Windows => Control Panel for Mac and Linux => System Preferences

However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans (even though you already have run some) :

Further information can be found in this article : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

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

I hope that helps to get rid of the nuisance .....
