    Why this happens? Windows 7 Google Chrome
    « on: July 09, 2014, 01:02:47 PM »
    First ---
    I did a screenshot of what happens to me sometimes when I open google chrome. Here is picture:
    I just opened a page and that happened. For example, the bookmark with "K" letter was red, now its blue.

    So the colors changed and icons were weird. If I try to open new tab it shows same thing.

    When I close google chrome and open it again, all is normal. It started coming out a month ago. I ignored it at start, but now it happens even more.

    Also I got a problem with a malware site ru-minecraft.org
    My friend downloaded me free version of minecraft from there. Now that malware site comes up every time I open google chrome :(

    I tried:
    -Changing home page to google
    -Deleting the minecraft and all files with it
    -I did go to "drivers/etc" and there were "hosts" file. I didn't find anything suspicius in there (I think), but there was one strange notepad where were writen strange sites, what mostly started with "ru-" and ended with ".org". I deleted that notepad but it did not help.
    -When I right-clicked google chrome and did go to propeties. At "shortcut" and "target" it did not show this (I changed it to this later, it did not help):
    "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
    But it showed something like this (not sure which one, I posted two variants cause I do not member it right)
    "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\ru-minecraft.org"
    or
    "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe/ru-minecraft.org"
    -I tried deleting in with adwcleaner. Best browser malware scanner I have ever seen. It helped me once with Ask Toolbar   and my friend with one other site.

    ------------------

    By the way, ru-minecraft.org is showing up to me already for 2 years already! Now when I am little bit more experienced with computers, I started worrying about that & tried to remove it.

    I'd suggest a visit to our Malware section and follow the guide for Posting your logs...
    They are kinda good over there and it seems you may be infected...
