Website Blocked Due To Hijack?!?!

    I just bought an Asus Zenbook. It is my first W11 computer.

    I immediately downloaded some malware that put lots of crap on my computer. I think I removed it all with McAfee and Malwarebytes; at least they removed a lot of files and registry entries. I think it was called "PC App Store". That now appears to on my App list, but when I try to uninstall it, it says nothing is there. How do I get rid of it?

    My serious problem is that when I put something I want to search on in the place at the top of the page where the address show, it gives me the following:
    "Website blocked: https://search-crown.com/search?sub...73d75&channel=default&keyword=how+much+does+a
    v3.0.11 | Hijack: 2.0.202501260605
    Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this page because it may contain malicious activity."

    It always worked fine on other computers, so either I have some malware, or W11 is different than W10. Or Malwarebytes is crazy.

    So... what is my problem and how can I do searches in the address area as I have always done? Thanks much.
