~~How do I copy and paste?~~

I think I downloaded something bad and I didn't even know it. It's giving me what Firefox did (put random links on words on a page, redirects you to a page every 5 seconds, downloading useless crap you don't want to, etc.)

See all those random links and ads that weren't there? Yeah. That's the problem. I woke up, gone on a certain site and saw my browser (Rocket) being like Firefox. It never done that before.

So did I download something wrong? Because I never downloaded anything.

Btw, if you're wondering why I have AdBlock, I never had it until I discovered this issue.

It's malware. You're gonna need to get a malware removal software. ( free if you torrent it )

If not, it's an extension/addon in your browser itself that needs to be deleted

I'd use a new browser.

[detect=pc]

[/detect][detect=3ds]

[/detect][detect=dsi]

[/detect]

It might be malware. But I did download this screenshooter app for my browser... leme try deleting it.

Yup. It's malware. Time to figure out how to torrent.

Geez my ignorance over technology is strong.

Oh. I could just manually remove it. A guide is right here.

EDIT: I'll do it later. My PC needs to cool, but I'll leave this thread open for further possibilities.

Looks like your computer got AIDS.

Language is a tool for efficient communication. The internet is a tool for fast communication. Do not defy both intents by posting incoherent writing.

Malwarebytes. Just find a serial code on the internet to get the paid version, because getting things for free is cool.

It's an easy fix. You just have to delete system 32.

Cr1tiKaL (2014-12-03 10:39:33)

^ Who the hell falls for that? That's old.

SackThing101 (2014-12-04 02:39:11)

I think I already found the Malware program.
