Mysterious Website Opens on Startup?

[Ronanwar]

This morning I turned on my computer and when I log on, a strange unknown website opens up on explorer, chrome, and/or firefox and I have absolutely no idea how to get rid of it. I am very paranoid that this is one type of malware which has never been detected on my PC before. The website is www.bizigames.org. How do I get rid of it?

I also have found no unknown programs running in the backround or startup programs in the task manager.

Searched your latest installed programs delete that one you haven't installed

I also have found no unknown programs running in the backround or startup programs in the task manager.

Do what @C0LL0SS0S says, and if that doesn't work, run Malwarebytes.

Tip for the future: Don't spam click next/accept when you go to install something. 

 

Just delete the most recent or unrecognized program. And reset your homepages back to whatever they were.

In options there should be a tab with a : "Open on start up" page, just clear that and as every one else says - delete weird programs

I haven't installed anything recently in the past few days. I haven't found anything under the recent programs I have installed as well. I am installing malwarebytes now.

run malewarebytes twice, then run CCleaner and the CCleaner registry cleaner thingy majigger. That usually does it for me.

Open programs and features and look for any programs that look weird or you know you didn't put there.

 

I would just manually go through and change all the browser setting to what i want or just hit the browser reset like chrome has.  

 

It could also be a Root-Kit that just auto visits that website, which would be a weird root-kit but it could still be there.

I've tried the following stuff: Reset all browsers, ESET Web Security Search, Malwarebytes, AVG, CCleaner, and Manually which I couldn't find. I have no idea how to fix this issue.

Open up your Hosts file in Notepad (WIndows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts)

 

In almost any case it should only say this below code.  If there are any additions that don't make sense, most likely malware changed it to redirect you to somewhere
 

# Copyright © 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.## This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.## This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each# entry should be kept on an individual line.

go to chrome, top right, settings, extensions

remove all of the ones you know for sure aren't the ones you use normally

run malwarebytes and ccleaner a few times

Try to launch your browser going to the folder where it's installed and running the exe from there instead of using the shortcut.

I had the same problem as you. I tried anything and everything to get rid of it and was about to just say fuck it and re install windows but then I found this one website on Google that tells you how to get rid of it using a program called Autoruns. It's quick and easy and it worked surprisingly.

 

Only problem now is that I'm left to wonder how the hell did this get pass my Malwarebytes and Symantec Endpoint Protection and why couldn't they seem to find anything when I scanned my computer 4-5 times.

you could run a program called autoruns.exe that will tell you everything that runs when your computer starts, But i woulnt recommend it if your a Novice when it comes to Windows Services and Proccesses
