I tried the Malwarebytes first - it found some viruses, but the same annoyances are still happening.
And now I’m getting another error message that persistantly won’t go away:
“Just-In-Time Debugging
An exception 'Runtime Error has occured in Script.
However, no debuggers are registered that can debug this exception. Unable to JIT debug.”
