Hello,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
  
  
  
  
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Please download Zemana AntiMalware and save it to your Desktop.

• Install the program and once the installation is complete it will start automatically.
• Without changing any options, press Scan to begin.
• After the short scan is finished, if threats are detected press Next to remove them.

Note: If restart is required to finish the cleaning process, you should click Reboot. If reboot isn't required, please restart your computer manually.​

• Open Zemana AntiMalware again.
• Click on
  
  icon and double click the latest report.
• Now click File > Save As and choose your Desktop before pressing Save.
• The only left thing is to attach saved report in your next message.

Which browser is doing this? Is it happening on all websites?

Which browser is doing this? Is it happening on all websites?

Default Browser, does not matter if its chrome or firefox, they both do the same, browser opens a newtab or new window(homepage everytime), when i'm on facebook, youtube, homepage, playing dota 2 or doom... closing other apps or just closing windows explorer window

 

[Sorin91]

i'm starting to think this might be hardware related, mouse or keyboard acting wierd...

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes, it could be possible, because I didn't spot sings of infection on your computer.

You are the boss when it comes to malware, i will get a new mouse and a new keyboard as soon as possible since it really can't be anything else seeing that all malware and virus reports came negative, thank you for the great help
