FWIW, a few months ago, I visited a friend, who, within 2 minutes of greeting us, told me that all the browsers on her laptop had been hijacked.  Unfortunately, I don't remember which hijack it was, but I want to point out to you that programs such as Malwarebytes sometimes (often?) don't work. 


When I began to check out my friend's machine, the first thing I did was to install Malwarebytes.  It said nothing was wrong.  I then installed Super Anti-Spyware on her machine and ran it.  That program also couldn't find anything (nor did scans by Eset or Windows Defender).  To make a long story short, I wound up having to manually (in safe mode) remove the offending files, fix several registry entries, etc.


Bottom line, Foto, Malwarebytes is a very reasonable first approach, but if it doesn't work, don't be surprised if you have to use the methods described in the various discussions you will find by doing the Google search that I recommended.
