| 1404027 | 2015-07-02 02:16:00 | When I open a site, this one included, I often get an extra site on a new TAB, it appears to be some sort of student news. foxstoriesau.com I have scanned with MalwareBytes & Microsoft Security and found nothing. There are no programs installed which shouldn't be there. I have reinstalled Chrome & checked the extensions. Has anyone had the same experience? |

| 1404029 | 2015-07-02 07:57:00 | I guess you have checked the settings for opening tabs? | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1404030 | 2015-07-02 08:26:00 | I guess you have checked the settings for opening tabs? Only TAB setting I can find is under 'On Start up' which is set to display Google. Can't find any 'Stop Popups'. The unwanted page displays in a new TAB upon loading another site, not at start up, including PC World. |
