Hi there, I am new to this forum but I have been watching LTT for quite some time. I have tried looking up solutions but a lot are years old at this point so I figured I would just ask for help. The problem started a couple months ago. In chrome not every time, but sometimes when I click on a page or link or just anywhere a random sketchy page pops up. Here is one that appeared as I was typing this https://gyazo.com/b18c9f420ea0b50bb3b346283eca6fae . Along with that sometimes when I search google it redirects me to Bing. Which as we all know, only old people who don't know how to reset their default browser use. Anyways I assumed this is a malware or something infecting my computer but I have no idea what to do to get it off. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

i think there was a free version one

i got a virus were audio kept playing in the background and nothing not even a macfee could detect it

but i ran this one, played with settings alil, and done virus was gone

if not factory reset.

 

sucks that viruse,malware,trojans are out there, some ppl claim positive things only to turn out to be negative

https://www.virustotal.com/   is a cool website that always you so scan websites, files, etc...

has alot of antiviruses and detects potential malware

but sometimes you might get false positives where it says its a viruse but might not be

you have to go with your judgment

malware does exist which suck 

anways goood luck
