Browser windows open up automatically, pages constantly refresh virus?
I've had this problem for about a month now and its driving me insane! Basically, no matter which browser I use, the same thing happens. With firefox, I get a bunch of windows that open up at the same time, and while browsing (when tolerable), the tab I'm on refreshes itself and goes to the default page, forcing me to constantly press the back button. Also, let's say Im on google, as I start typing on the search bar, suddenly it acts as if I had clicked on something else, so whatever I type doesn't appear, or even goes off somewhere else... This also happens with chrome & even IE. I've tried Malwarebytes, spybot s&d & even a clean reinstall. I've currently got Bit defender installed & yet no avail. heeelp.
ps. not so much of a techie but I can work my way around it & can follow step by step instructions.
Also, I've also noticed that the cooling fan kicks on high every few minutes even after the "clean install" shortly after boot. ALSO*** My pc is a pavilion dv6 intel core i5 w/ 6gb ram...barely a year old..so im guessing this is also bc of the infection..
