@thekingandI Norton mainly slows the computer and doesn't stop malware effectively. I had so much trouble with Norton that I called tech support. I asked why things get by easily with Norton and Malware Bytes finds them. They answered and said that Malware Bytes is far better software.

Adblock doesn't block everything, they have agreements with certain vendors and websites to allow some ads and tracking, I would recommend using uBlock Origin instead.
I would also recommend using Firefox instead of Edge or Chrome (or any of the many Chrome derivatives, of which Edge is one - these are all 'Googled' to some extent, including Chromium).
In addition to uBlock, I use the Privacy Badger extension.
I also use Avira with real-time protections enabled, have disabled Windows Defender and have replaced Windows firewall with Private Firewall, which I find much more configurable and, of course, neither Avira nor Private Firewall reports to Microsoft.
Some websites have redirects that result in 'pop-unders', I haven't run into this in a while, but especially with movie hosts, they all try to maximize advertising revenue in one way or another and it's getting harder with all the ad-blocking techniques available, so, yeah, it happens (and sometimes they're the target of exploits, either from competitors or DMCA anti-piracy campaigns - we've all seen that before, too).

When I use any link from vidlox.me, it starts subframes on my browser that are titled: Facebook, Google and YouTube. This seems to be phishing for user data. What can I do? I already use adblock plus. When I used mixdrop links, it shuts off some functions of my system. Anything I can do to protect my system. These seem to be the best quality links that often are the only ones available for most videos.
