I followed the instructions to the T above — unfortunately, I still have the Fluckin FLOXIF TROJAN which showed when I ran Malwarebytes (which I’ve had for years) again after doing all that! Been trying to fix this ALL day. I know just enough about computers to be dangerous and many of the other fixes on line were over my head. I think a professional is needed at this point.
