how to solve the annoying "OWZNA" malware?
it opens by itself...
i have adblocker in my chrome, "usually" it prevent it from opening (and i just see it prevented). but i know this evil OWZNA is main malware/pop-up (whatever it is)... its better to solve it basically, instead of using ad-blocker (which just "block" it to re-open)

i also used malwarebytes program... it detected some treats, but nothing related to OWZNA

the evil website repeatedly opens in another tab
everywhere it may happen... from facebook to any other website

i dont know, maybe it is not "malware" and it is other forms of crap.

anyone any solution?
(by the way i use avast as antivirus)

I assume you have updated malwarebytes with the latest antivirus definitions and ran a full system scan the only other thing I can suggest is restarting your laptop/computer into safe mode run another full system scan with malware bytes, failing that you could try Norton Power Eraser from here just run on safe mode and reboot into safe mode https://security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.aspx.

You could try your programs and features (add remove programs) to see if there is anything odd in it and uninstall any crap from there.

See how you get on with that.
