Hi
I just helped a friend with a similar "Browser Hijack" situation on Chrome.
Which is what I suspect Partner18 is.
((Though you may have 2 issues, if one of the supposed fixes, added something else.?))
In Chrome, click on the "Options", top right 3 parallel bars,
Select "Settings", near bottom of drop down list.
That will now bring up a Chrome Settings screen.
Top Left, Click on "Extensions".
That will list all the extensions currently installed on Chrome.
Unless you recognise anything you have installed yourself.?
Click on the "Trash Can" next to each of them and remove from Chrome
re-start Chrome.
If no extensions present.?, I'm not sure what next, sorry.?
There was(in Windows) a bogus program doing the rounds "Anti Phishing Domain Advisor"
That manifested itself with Browser re-directs, and oddities if you used Web based email.
Can be easily removed, Add/Remove programs, but that wont get onto Linux.
