Last couple of days I've been getting some weird stuff happening when I browse blonde on my laptop (fine on phone). Yesterday when I clicked on links to threads a new tab/window would open up taking me to betting/gambling websites (Paddy Power was one - can't remember the others. Today I'm getting a random side bar appearing with poker related stuff (screenshot below). | Click to see full-size image. |
 and as I clicked on the 'post' button, instead of posting, this happened: | Click to see full-size image. |
 anyone else getting this and/or know what might be causing it? I've run a scan for malicious software, but it didn't find anything  help!! |

Ah, Geo's screenshot is showing "MyStart Search" which is a browser hijack that apparently gets installed alongside Incredimail.
Could be that you've also got the hijack somehow.

just in case anyone else has similar problem with chrome: click on menu, then settings, then extensions. any ticked and labelled 'installed by a third party' are likely to be the culprit - just delete them |

You get these parasitic programs piggy-backing on installs of other software. So they don't always appear in your installed programs list and neither do they appear in most malware scans.
Think last time I saw one like this was on a computer where a program that had been installed to view football streams had also installed the cheeky browser hijacking software as well. Got to be careful, as although this one is naughty it's not malicious. Sometimes they can be.
