you can indeed get a re-direct that is posing as Malware,
& which can be very malicious on any Windows Based machine.
but, on any Linux Based machine, the damage is generally contained to within the Browser itself.

so, therefore, just closing that Browser & maybe even Logging Out of your Session,,
- should clear that Hijack issue. - - maybe Clear your Browser History, as well.
