Lemon 163 / 4,972 Report Post Posted January 10, 2017 Edited January 10, 2017 by Lemon Okay, so I make a post on the forums, and immediately, a random page opens. It gives me multiple options for what kind of prize I would like to redeem. Hey, maybe I'll redeem my free iPhone 7. Anyone else want anything? https://gyazo.com/814d5ad5026c89f97e8d58410ee6165b Edited January 10, 2017 by Lemon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I will do a virus scan, anyways, to see if it detects anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolest Cat 1,266 / 14,449 Report Post Posted January 10, 2017 It's most definitely adware. Visit any fishy sites recently? *COUGH* PORN SITES *COUGH* Anyway, you should definitely run a scan. "Be good people" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon 163 / 4,972 Report Post Posted January 10, 2017 Edited January 17, 2017 by Lemon It hasn't happened since, so I don't think I had any adware, ever. Edited January 17, 2017 by Lemon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something you may want to check first is a random google chrome extension. Go to chrome://extensions/ and look for anything unusual (and delete it). You could also try this Adware Cleaner provided by MalwareBytes. (Note that it will force a restart to help delete whatever it may find) I know this is late, but, I used the Adware Cleaner, and it didn't find anything. Plus, nothing has happened since. O also checked my Chrome extensions, and didn't find anything suspicious either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I did was use Google chrome Cleanup tool to fix it, and it fixed everything. Creative Team of GFL. That's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I did was use Google chrome Cleanup tool to fix it, and it fixed everything. Don't worry, It wasn't adware. I remember what it was... I had a second window of Chrome open, and I was on an adf.ly page, about to download something, I must've clicked an ad, because It has never happened before, or since it did.
