spam web pages hijacking my browser!
« on: March 24, 2012, 12:45:17 AM »
Hi,

I don't know if this is a virus or what it is.  I use Google Chrome for my web browsing, I've been using it since it first came out, but the last month or so I've been having weird behavior in Chrome.  I'll be reading some page fine, then all of a sudden I'm being sent to Mevio.com or any one of a hundred other spam ad websites.  And what's worse is that sometime the Back button is disabled so I have to kill that tab and start all over again.  It's highly frustrating.  Ooh, well I just found that I could update my version of Avast! and did so.  It would be oh so nice if that happened automatically!  So, we'll see, maybe that fixes my issue, but assuming it won't, any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff
