    To be fair her teaching assistant put it on there and she has a tendency of clicking on everything and just isn’t computer literate at all so it was more of an inevitability than anything. It installed a reskinned Chromium that redirected searched so it wasn’t super bad. is ran MalwareBytes and got a few more possible threats too. Glad it wasn’t anything super severe. I’m out of practice lol.

      Yeah, thankfully the modern ones are usually pretty easy to clean, I remember searching through configs for variations of the fake search engine
