Hi !
You may want to do a bit more than to just remove Search Encrypt, as this is a browser hijacker that may have infected you with more malware.
Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Addons => Extensions and (besides Search Encrypt) look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows Control Panel.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
