Okay so I'm quite a noob on this whole computer thing, so I don't know where to find the logs or even what specs my computer has. It's an RoG, so it's supposed to be quite resistant, with McAfee SafeSearch to protect my browser and Avast if needed. I have this weird thing happening since a week or so, where multiple events happen:
- Each time I do a search on Google, other results will spawn at the top of the page, looking just like regular links, but will then redirect me to ads - and they also spawn randomly in the actual results. This also includes video searching and image searching. (1 is the page 0.5 seconds before the actual ads appear, and 1bis is after)
- When clicking on a regular link, a new page will automatically open and redirect me to the same search I just did, but with Yahoo. (2)
- There are local ads that show up on every single type of video I try to watch. By local ads, I mean those stupid things that ask me if i wanna have sex with girls from my region. On YouTube videos, they appear at the bottom of the screen looking like regular YouTube ads, but if closed spawn again 20 seconds later. (3)
- These local ads also appear on my home page in YouTube, replacing the miniatures and titles of videos but not the name of the channel, making it look like an actual video. (4)
- They also appear in front of other kind of video players, but in those cases totally prevent me from opening it or reading the video. (5)
I tried running Avast (a smart scan, a full scan, a localised scan...). It found 2 malwares and removed them but nothing helps.
Whatever that is, it is extremely well thought out and goddamn infuriating, I'm loosing my mind. If you can help me then I beg you to do so hahaha
Also if you need anything from me, just explain to me the steps I need to take and I will send it.
Thanks again!!
PS: results in french are normal, i'm actually french hahah
