PC problem
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?

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/

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

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
