Thanks again for your reply. No I have never installed a game on my Mac. In fact, the riskiest site I knowingly have visited is Facebook. The problem may have occurred when, yesterday, I attempted to locate an online source to watch the end of the Alabama football spring game. When I clicked one, I was told Adobe, or something needed to be updated. I don't care about adobe (or whatever it was) except that if it enabled me to view the game (after being switched off by the SEC network in favor of the Georgia spring football scrimmage... why they would do that is crazy :~)). That click, I believe led to my my default search Google, being replaced by something called any search, or some such name). I don't normally go searching around my "extensions." But in an effort to remove any search, discovered the "directed..." extension. Anyway, hopefully, all is fixed now. Have a great day!
