(copy pasted from /r/chrome)
So I formatted my PC some weeks ago and it's been working perfectly, but some days ago (3-4 days ago) I opened my PC and chrome and I got on the Elsword forums and some other local websites and I kept getting the same kind of ads, even though I have Adblock enabled: 1. Video popups (not even new windows, just stuck in the same tab) 2. Tradeexchange and Aliexpress tabs opening whenever I pressed left click on something.
and sometimes when I open a game like CS:GO and League (that have Flash and Internet Explorer-like links, I don't know how to explain it exactly) I might get a pop-up like this or an ad (I know it's not related to Chrome but I was hoping someone could help me on this one too). I've resetted my Chrome settings, deleted history/cookies and reset Internet Explorer settings, but it still seems there must be something. I checked in Control Panel all the listen programs I have in my computer and did a Chrome Cleanup and Avast check but nothing.
Also these ads have started popping up on other devices too that I or my relatives use. It's happening on my 5 months old Lenovo K3 Note, my dad's JUST BOUGHT Lenovo K3 Note, my mom's old gt-s7500, my dad's VAIO laptop and as I said previously, my newly formatted PC. This also happens on other browsers on these devices too (Chrome, Mozilla, Adblocker Browser for android).
This is really starting to piss me off because my phone is useless right now. When I go to open a site like my local cinema's daily program I get redirected to 10 other ad sites and then I just end up using my computer. I don't know if this has anything to do with this problem, but all of these things are happening on the same WiFi network.
I hope someone can help me and also sorry for my below decent English.
