Problem solved. Did I install a trojan/virus?

[Da_Jinks]

So I installed a free version of WinZip here (http://www.winzip.com/win/en/index.htm). I received a warning from my computer that a trojan had been removed, so I uninstalled it. Now my homepage/new tab pages have been changed, and I don't know if I got a virus or something. All of the anti-virus on my computer need a new subscription, so can anyone prescribe a good, FREE anti-virus/have any knowledge of the site?

This program is free and should be easy to use.

Installing, hopefully it cleans things up!

Also your best bet is to do a full scan in safe mode.

Alright, so I installed the product and scanned my computer which put near 200 objects into quarantine. After a restart it allowed me to select to delete all, which I did. I'm good now?

If you wanted to be extra sure, you could also download this other program and see if anything else comes up. If you feel a lot more safe just from Malwarebytes then you should be fine.

Well, after running it nothing else is showing up and my computer is faster + firefox is back to normal, so seems fixed. Thanks for the help!

The system may catch a nasty virus or malware that hijacks the web browser. Try reinstall the web browser may help to solve redirect issues.

I think you may infected by a virus and you should find a proper way to deal with such problem before it getting worse.
