Finished.(my comment)
I have just now noticed that Norton does not support Edge which is where the item now is but it has also appeared on Chrome. I would appreciate any advice on how to get rid of it. I have run scans with both Malwarbytes and Norton. The last time I ran Malwarbytes it picked it up and quarantined it but is not now picking it up again and it just keeps coming back. I seems to be coming from Facebook as it arrives after I have been on that site. I have also run NPE which did not pick it up but I only tried than when it was on Edge, not the occasion when it was on Chrome.
