Hi !

Would you please take a look at these articles :

But most of all :

Note : make sure that you run all, or at least most of the malware scanners.

Just to be on the safe side, you may also want to do this :

Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions.

When you find any : remove them.

Also look in : Advanced => Network tab => Under : 'Offline Web Content and User Data' When you see something suspicious : remove it.

Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.

However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere, hence the malware scans.

To prevent this from happening again you might consider installing this
