My browser keeps randomly redirecting to search "s1wp ajax con cat shaw global" through yahoo search engines. There is no pattern thus far when it happens. My browser is set up with google as my home page and primary search engine (I've even deleted all other search engines). I have a Macbook Pro (late 2011) running OSX 10.10.5

Is this a virus?

I think this issue may be similar to the "DNS Solution Yahoo Canada Error Handler" that others have been having. I've went to my add-on - extension section and found a "search me" and "slick savings" extensions that i don't recognize. I've removed them both. Hopefully that fixes things.
