Annoying websites keep opening themselves help? - ProfoundBeggar505 - 04-28-2014 06:33 PM
Two website keep opening at random times when I'm using AND not using google chrome. The first is called "Magicfinds.com" (and no, not the game) and "sh.st". This is really pissing me off. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling chrome, I ran SuperAntispyware, ran tuneup360, and uninstalled any updates or any newly installed software (I did a complete scan also). Tried looking on google to see if i could find anything but I couldn't (that's why I'm typing this). I do have adblock and I did block 3rd party things... (forgot name). Anyways, its been bugging me for a while now. I tried deleting cookies and any download or browsing history. I have windows 7 by the way on a hp laptop.
I use google chrome, or internet explorer. I do have adblock for chrome.

Use google chrome and get ad-block. By the way, what do you use? (IE,Firefox, Safari?)

Sounds like adware. Use AdwCleaner and Junkware removal tool. Then Malwarebytes Antimalware.

You can try this way to stop the websites popping up: 1) click Start> control panel>Programs and Features> search for the related program and uninstall it 2) clear the browsing history 3) search for related files on C drive and remove all of them.

its a virus, download some antivirus such as antivirus or avg and scan/clean it off
