Google search and google maps are redirected to yahoo
I have run MalwareBytes and Microsoft Security Search, both found nothing. On y Firefox home page "srchoperatetool" came up but I can not find how to uninstall/delete/remove it. I have removed all add ons.

While we're looking on our end for anything, I want to recommend you try a dedicated malware forum for help in addition. They might be more useful than we can be, unfortunately.

What add ons have you installed? Have you installed anything recently? I can't find any results for "Microsoft Security Search" is that it's official name?
Let me know, thanks!
Sorry, the search name was something like that. Yahoo has taken over now and I can't find the name. The only Add Ons I had were the "h" that checked prices for you and Grammerly and Bookmark.
In addition, McAfee spent about 1 hour roaming around in my computer (remotely) and found nothing.
