Hello coreyk67,

Not sure I see any malware in this one view. But before we go any further, the log suggests perhaps this system is owned by a school district. If so, we would refer repairs for it to the district's own choices of local repairs. I also notice what appears to be a glitch in your start page choice. If my web search is correct, "royalisd" is a "parked" web page - one that is no longer registered, and some vendor has stuck there flaky search options on it. I think the correct domain web page wording would be with a hyphen - "royal-isd".
