Don't bow down to your ISP. Get a VPN (like NordVPN) and block your ISP from being able to see your traffic and where you are going on the web.

This helped me tremendously! I was so upset I couldn't get rid of this program. I read some other ways to handle this and they were such a nightmare to someone like me, technoilliterate.
Thanks for your help and I will donate.
