In the registry this was found doing a search for elex which is malware. Still digging, but for the first time in many years my machine ended up with a lot of unwanted "helpers" and redirects. UvConv also got put in my startup. I'm assuming 1 of these opened the door for the others since I rarely visit unknown sites.
