Your pointer is your cursor - that you move with your mouse. |

Do you have a best buy close to you??
You have a virus. Best Buy can come look at it and fix it unless you have a laptop. In which case I would just take that sucker to the Geek Squad at Best Buy!! LOL
Get Avast anti virus. It's free and they remove viruses.
Here is the link to Avast for you. All you have to do is click download on the level of protection you want. I have the Premier but the Free version works just fine.

Location: SE Louisiana | It's called a Browser Hijacker. I did that once.
This will explain what they do. https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/home/current/solutions/kb2010081...
Most browser makers have something to remove them. Just google search the name of your browser along with the words 'browser hijacker'. |
