Hey guys,

 

I recently downloaded a program but with it apparently came some AdWare and every once in a while it keeps opening the same website which then refers me to a different ad every time.

What can I do to stop this?

I can't find out what is causing this, and I blocked the website in my Hosts File so the ads stopped appearing and scaring me with some crazy sounds.

This is the website: http://www.addfleshitem.com/texasm

I have googled the websites name but I couldn't find anything on it.

 

Thanks in advance :D

That is the entire problem, I can't find the program that is causing this.

Just look through your processes and then whatever you see suspicous uninstall it.

What @refinedskillz said and run things like windows defender and malware bytes to clean up a little bit.

There is nothing I don't recognise. Or suspicious, not a single process.

Like the guy above your post, run malwarebytes. Also check your browser extentions.
