Hijacking Chrome?

Anyone have this problem in Chrome where the browser randomly opens mainstream sites, I'm talking like Google, Amazon and every now and then a weird mainstream store with an affiliate link in there... but most of the time there is no affiliate link at all.

Not sure what the hell is going on, I did a full scan in avast and it found nothing.

explain the situation a bit more.

Does it open chrome even when its closed or only open website when you are using it ? have you tried other browsers to see if the redirect is there also.

Is this a popup or how does it display ?

Does it hijack your search results or type-ins or just at random ..

Hey Smokey, I know you're pretty smart with this stuff so you can probably help...

Never hijacks Chrome when its closed, only when it is open. Never tried different browsers, but pretty sure it's just Chrome (I rarely use other browsers).

It only opens other sites when I visit certain sites (so possibly a cookie issue?) - Mostly when I visit adult sites, honestly. But even mainstream sites it happens.

It's not a popup, its a pure tab opener or redirect...

It does hijack typeins, haven't seen it hijack SE results yet.
