If disabling the suspicious browser extensions doesn't work then you definitely have some malware. Download Malwarebytes, do a full scan, and remove what it recommends.

Thanks Dendrin,

That MalwareBytes programme is pretty impressive-it found 108 separate Malware programmes on my PC!

Crazy/scary but it cleaned them all up and everything seems fine now.

Cheers mate.

You really should use an adblock to restrict the stuff that infects through popups. (Note: disable it on this site and partner sites though of course)

Aside from Taylor's banner, there are no ads on this forum, so adblock should not make any difference here.

Just to clarify, Mistress Taylor has a banner since she hosts this entire web site. We have been able to last 5 years here and grow through her generosity.
