Was: Google Chrome
Am using google Chrome on Vista Premium and its started doing my head in this week.
Everytime I select a website I want to visit, I keep getting a new tab opening with something completly different. sometimes I even get 3 tabs opening.
Anyone advise what the hells' going on
Currently have spybot running to see if that can detect anything .

Try KIS with a full scan on trial, seems to have best detetction at moment.
Otherwise, use FireFox and love the speed difference

Thanks
did a full scan via my avast av and it picked something up but still having the same problem
am tired on clicking on a website only to have a second tab open instead, keep getting odd search engines and bl**dy facebook opening.
will keep searching till i find what it is as browsing noooooo fun.

It deffo seems the work of spyware, or some browser hijacker, try a-squared , its free aswell.

Download malwarebytes. Its always fixed these sort of problems for me.

Thanks will give it a go, I already have malwarebytes and its not found anything so far
just opening this thread opened another tab , grrrrrr
edit, now got 6 tabs open just to find 1 link
one tab that keeps re-occuring is called gooogleads

still having same problem
now got 3 different spy programmes running and malwarebytes

Is a reinstallation an option?
Posted by larry 68
God I hope not, i did that 6 months ago when my pc shut down without warning and wouldnt re=start
I downloaded a free program that detected a trojan but now it want s me to pay for removal,
strange the other 3 progrmaes cant see it.
I now notice that non of my original progs, malware or spybot can access their update manager
something blocking it perhaps ?

I would honestly try Kasperksy, highest detection rate and free removal during trial, nothing to stop you removing it after its finished.
Go to Start > Run > MSCONFIG
Go to the Startup tab, check for anything you know shouldn't be there, in fact everything except your AV. Google everything else that you don't know and judge if you should remove it or not
Now go to the services tab, check "Hide all MS Services" and untick all not important (or foreign to you, again google it first before removing)
Then restart
EDIT: I have also had random FB popping up actually??
Thanks
