Exclamation Earth AV


My wife's laptop has some crapware on it called Earth AV.. Anytime she attempts to visit a site the site is listed as a potential phishing site and it is suggested she download this software to protect her computer. I am unable to find a link or program which will allow me to remove this. I cannot visit any websites and McAfee has not noticed it during Virus scan. I have added it to to restricted site list however this has not resolved the issue.

Does anyone have resolution??
