Any advice as o how to get he above resolved.

Sounds like you have managed to get one of those nasty drive-by installs
that has put an ad-bot on your computer. Check for malware, and take a
look at all your add-ons too. Not seeing that here.
This is why when I buy a computer I insist on a Windows install disk.
And the first thing I do when I get the PC home is re-format the hard
drive and re-install a clean Windows. Yeah, I know, not for the
faint-of-heart. Still. I don't want all that crap manufacturers put on
PCs. Got no use for any of it.
