So it's double work when I browse and I have malwarebytes. I have Edge which came with windows 10 but I think I need another browser? lostsoul62 (16011)
1479194 2021-08-09 21:00:00 Could be something in the temp internet files, seen that sort of things many times. Run Disk cleanup or if you have it ccleaner.

If you install Ccleaner, make sure you select the CUSTIMIZE option (its in small writing directly under the big install Button) . Then you can untick the rubbish it tries to install on the 3rd (from memory) Window. If you simply click "Install" you'll end up with probably with either Avast, Avast VPN or CCleaner browser installing.

Having Malwarebytes doesn't mean much, its not detecting what ever is causing the redirections.

Clean it out.

1479196 2021-08-10 09:33:00 I have encountered websites that seem to be designed like this on purpose, torrent sites and the like. One site it was happening every time I clicked a magnet link (straight to a gambling site the first time, worked correctly the second) but mysteriously stopped happening when I created an account and logged in which I did to query it on their forums. They denied any such thing but logging out and testing then logging back in and re testing confirmed it only happens if not logged in. I just assumed they were getting add revenue that way and put it down to the risks of using such sites.

So it's happening everywhere it's probably something as suggested by Wainui or piroska, but if it's only on certain websites maybe they are just dodgy websites.

check your DNS settings
reset 'internet' in control panel
Run a full AV scan of the PC

is it only just some websites doing this ?
as above , some websites just do that sort of thing , either by design or the website was hacked
