Why is "clickserve.dartsearch.net" blocking browser searches and why does this bypass Firefox security?
When I do a web search for genuine companies/stories/facebook etc I get this "clickserve.dartsearch.net" listed in the search heading!
The search then either times out or it blocks access to the person/company I want to visit
I have Malwarebytes scartching their heads and even my VCN do not know what is goinf on :(
Help!! It is driving me crazy over the last week

Hi, clicksearch dartsearch is an adware that got into your pc. There's a couple things you should try;
First is try using adblocker like Uorigin. This doesn't remove the virus from your laptop though, it would only help firefox block the adware pop-ups and such.
Second, you should remove the virus. Well I'm not an expert and I would be bad at explaining but here's a site that thoroughly describes and shows how to remove it: https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-clickserve-dartsearch-net/
Goodluck!
Thanks for you reply Coat but tried all of the ways listed in their alleged solutions and even malwaretips/bytes software does not find it :(
I would suggest this tool to see what is running.
