Hello there,

 

So since about a week now, it seems I have some sort of adware. Every time I boot up my computer and log in, a chrome window opens with a website on it, it was adverttraff or something like that before and now it's gamezdoka.org.

 

I have tried virus scans, CCleaner, malwarebytes, etc. but they all don't seem to detect it and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

Any ideas how to remove it?

Go into your chrome settings and change the homepage and such, and check your start menu startup folder for google chrome or a internet shortcut as it may have put something in there so it opens on login.

I don't have anything besides rainmeter in the startup folder and my chrome homepage is just google :/

 

 

I use Adwcleaner for these situations. Also Junkware Removal Tool. Both programs are free to use.

 

 

Gonna try that right now :)

Hmm, have you checked "Add or remove programs" for anything suspicious?
