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 deleted your poll.

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...
