There is something weird going on with my browsers. In both Chrome and Firefox, when I open a webpage the cursor does not highlight any link or text. Instead when I double click, a new tab opens to an advertisement page. Going back to the previous tab everything works normal. But this is annoying since it happens with every webpage I open. Anything I can do???????

you have some kind of malware on the system. run malwarebytes and your antivirus of choice to try and remove it.

you can check your task manager to see what is running. anything you don't recognize could be the culprit and needs to be removed. some of this stuff is nice and actually lists itself in your program list. check your uinstall list as well and maybe it will be there to be removed but this is rare.
