Solve : Random pages...?

Answer»

Long time no visit, this site here.
But anyways, this occurs on Google Chrome and Internet Explorer; moreover Google Chrome.
So YEAH, when I click on a link like on Google, or another website, a random (completely unexpected) website opens...and a lot more pop-ups COME around now...there are no spyware/malware apps on my laptop, I know.
But the random pages showing up thing, is REALLY annoying...
Anybody know of a fix?? Quote from: teezy4life on June 26, 2009, 02:40:53 AM

How do you know this for sure?

What page(s) is it linking you to?

To be honest, sounds like a browser hijack, especially since it's more than one browser with the problem, but without more information, can't say for sure.I have Malware Defender, Windows Defender, and AVG Internet Security; no reports of malware.

And say, if I typed a query containing..."upcoming PS3 releases" and I see a result come up; and the link in green (below the page preview) is like..idk..http://www.n4g.com ; I'll click the link, and I'll be redirected to some random site...sometimes it's a REALLY random SEARCH engine, some I've never heard of; and sometimes it's an adult-meeting website...like ew. It's bugging me.

Since you suggest it's a browser hijack (which I highly AGREE with), do you think uninstalling and reinstalling my browsers would do anything?

At all?Uninstalling/re-installing your Browsers will not do it...
Visit the Virus and Spyware section and post the logs following the guide at the top of the page...This definitely sounds like an infection - probably adware

To remove it I would recommend that you scan with Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

Besides that, Ad-Aware is now considered "out-of-date".
