PC problem

[Fire Hawk154]

So a few days ago I downloaded Spartacus season 1 and since then something keeps opening tabs in my browsers every +-3 hours :<

It usually leeds me to a filesharing site (safe according to siteadvisor), but an hour ago when I opened Runescape I went straight to a phishing site (which actually started with www.runescape.com/).

I've scanned every file on my computer with both McAfee and MallwareBytes but I haven't found anything. I also cleared all cookies on every browser but that help either.

Any ideas?

I dont know much about that myself, but someone in my mainclan does.
I'll ask him when he comes online

Might have picked up some adware (usually included sneakily with downloads). If so, this might help: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/
If not, ComboFix is pretty good at picking up malware that other programs sometimes miss. To get this, download ComboFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/combofix/

Thanks! Currently running a scan in safe mode, after that I‘ll try those programs Monkey

Just spoke to my friend
He says you should try malwarebytes, its an anti malware programm

Yer McAfee sucks

Your better off installing a few of the free ones, but only having one firewall.

Some scanners pick up viruses other can't.

I'll ask a friend which one he used when he had a problem like this.


Good Luck in the mean time

Malwarebytes. You definately got something extra when you downloaded Spartacus.

A decent free Anti-Virus is Avast! (http://www.avast.com/en-gb/) however if you have money to spend then I'd suggest you get Kaspersky.

@Snelle - He already said he tried Anti-malwarebytes :p
