I found out what it is and it's what we call a PUA Crackle.com Browser Hijacker please try to remove it yourself and if need be contact support and they will help you! https://community.webroot.com/t5/Techie-KB/How-to-Remove-Potentially-Unwanted-Applications/ta-p/40744 also may I add it would be best after it's gone is to install a good Free Adblocker for each of your Browsers!
 
For Internet Explorer Ad Block Plus: https://adblockplus.org/
 
For Firefox either this one uBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock/ or this one I use myself AdBlock Edge: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-edge/?src=ss
 
Google Chrome uBlock: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en

Thanks for the advice Daniel regarding Adblockers. I have been using ABP with Firefox but am now trying uBlock as suggested. The comparision review shows that it has a much smaller footprint than ABP and is faster. Sounds good to me - a bit like comparing WSA with much of the opposition!
 
Incidentally, Adblock Edge has now been discontinued in favour of uBlock.

Your very Welcome! Yes I see that ABE is Discontinued now so I'm trying Privacy Badger and so far so good! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/privacy-badger-firefox/ and for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/privacy-badger/pkehgijcmpdhfbdbbnkijodmdjhbjlgp
