Hi, I keep on getting new tabs opening whenever I click on a link. They are from a website called tabcontent.net. Is there a way to stop this?
 
Solution


I run Chrome and from out of nowhere tabcontent and associates kept annoyingly popping up. My anti-virus Comodo didn't catch it or Malwarebytes nor did ADW Cleaner when I ran that. So I reset Chrome.
Click on Settings
In the 'search settings' type 'reset settings'.
Bookmarks and saved passwords are not lost.
It seems to have worked for me.
If you use IE then I guess there is some similar way to reset.
I hope this helps and good luck.
