Earlier I was reading an email and suddenly a screen came up saying that I had carried out an AOL search for an AOL keyword which bore no resembalnce to the email I was reading. The search said that this word was not in the AOL directory. I had not attempted to carry out any search and had carried out any mouse clicks nor inputted anything into any search facility on the AOL browser. Therefore, I am wondering if maybe I have a nasty lurking with my computer.

Since this occurred I have done a full scan using both AVG and Malwarebytes and both report no infections.

Any help appreciated.
