I Have been using Chrome for ages without noticing any issues, but just few days ago this issue happened and i think it's probably a Malware
The problem is "Redirecting"
Chrome keeps redirecting me to websites (mostly Ads) strange and not trusted ones..
it redirect me everytime i open a website.. for example, When i open Minecraftforum it opens normally, but after about 1 or half a minute it redirects me.
here is SOME of the sites (DON'T CLICK ON THE SITES, THEY ARE PROBABLY MALWARE)
Those are mostly Ads Websites..
after it redirect the "back" button is no longer clickable.. i always stop the page from loading and close that tab..
But it is really annoying so i need help..
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that it first started like this:
Some random words in the websites are Blue and all in Caps.. when you hover at them they open ADS
and another wierd thing that when i open Minecraftfourm, Facebook, Pintrest..etc (mostly used websties) my laptop fan goes crazy.. which NEVER happened before..
So Anyhelp? i really need help with this..
(Note: this Happens to EVERY site not just Minecraftforum)
those of you wondering why i don't have an active RP (so far none). i try. but whenever i get to the rules section of it my computer restarts. computer: i realise what your telling me and i give up.
Maybe the maleware just wants to find some femaleware.
In all seriousness, sounds like you've got a case of adware. Check your installed programs, program files, programdata and appdata for any suspicious programs (you can find those folders in your C: and user directories). That or you can run an antivirus scan.
Oh, and if you go the AdBlock route, please don't use it on every site. Servers don't run on good will (that said, there are some sites that you shouldn't feel too bad about adblocking, *cough* *cough*).
sometimes ad say something like brought you by buynsave or another company. Look in your extenstions for the same name if it is not there then look in uninstall and change a program. If that is not there. Go to the Chrome store and get a free extention called AdBlocker Plus it is free I have been using it for as long as I can remember.
If that fails then try opening the same webpages in another browser like edge or Internet Explore or Firefox ect. to see if you get the same results. And if it doesn't bring you to the sites then I would recomened uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome.

By googling the first site name, I've found this. Before any of this, make sure browser syncing is OFF. If you use your Google account on multiple computers, an infected computer could be transmitting the hijack to your normal computer. At worst you may need to go clean up that computer before you'll be able to use Chrome again.
When it tells you to hard reset, do this if you don't have a Chromebook (hard reset AND clear cache), but note that this might delete your Chrome profile aka all history and bookmarks, so write down anything important: Recently, I discovered this small but awesome feature of the Chrome Dev Tools that helps you clear the cache and do a hard refresh easily, without breaking your flow or changing tabs. What ever tab you are on, just open the Chrome Dev Tools by pressing F12. Once the chrome dev tools are open, just right click on the refresh button and a menu will drop down. This menu gives you the option of doing a hard refresh, or even clearing the cache and do a hard refresh automatically.
"Thank you for contacting Google. My name is Chris and I'll be assisting you today. I've looked into the issue you described, and I've got good news - the page you're describing is not a virus on your Samsung Chromebook and removing this stuck page is easy. Please follow the instructions I've outlined for you below and you should be set.
- Perform a hard reset: Press the Refresh+Power buttons on your keyboard (the refresh key looks like a circular arrow and is in the top row of keys on your keyboard).
- Sign back in and pull up the Chrome browser.
- Don't click 'restore' at the top of the page in the yellow bar; instead please click the 'x' on the right of the yellow bar.
- Browse as normal to test that the issue is resolved."
If that doesn't work, open your computer in safe mode and run a full scan with whatever antivirus you have, and the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free Scanner. https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/ Make sure, if you have another antivirus, that you DO NOT use the free trial. Turn it off, just keep the scanner. Never use two antiviruses at once.

Okay going to try that first, Then i will try Malwarebytes
Are you in safe mode? Some viruses have the ability to cloak themselves from scanners. Safe mode disables everything but normal system processes, so it won't be able to do that.

I Barely typed those without redirecting..
I'm just a very boring person.
sorry about your troubles. i recommend some things.
1 clear your computer cache.
2 get adblock so it doesn't happen again.
3 don't allow websites to track you.
like many users of the minecraft forums i'm a member of the server total war (IP:167.114.100.168:438) the server includes a 1:1500 scale map of earth.

-1 Respect for ABP.
Use Malwarebytes.

Many People Suggesting using Malwarebytes (now i realized that it's Malware not Maleware, going to fix that)
So i am downloading it hoping it will work
also what is ABP?
Okay going to try that first, Then i will try Malwarebytes

ABP: AdBlockPlus https://adblockplus.org/
Oh... Thanks for Clarifying :3
I'm just a very boring person.
I use Avira Free Antivirus, and Spybot for antiviruses
Okay now this is happening.. ._. (doing a scan with MalwareBytes At the moment..)
see those Ads on the right side.. (everytime i click the "x" button it shows up again
Avira.. Don't Bring that crap here please.. ._.

Are you in safe mode? Some viruses have the ability to cloak themselves from scanners. Safe mode disables everything but normal system processes, so it won't be able to do that.
Try looking in uninstall and change a program for DNSUnlocker.
I Don't have a DNSUnlocker.. I Also finished the scan with MalwareBytes.. Found only one threat But not a malware
the threat is PUP.Optional.OpenCandy..
Also i am not in Safe mode
I'm just a very boring person.
Your problem looks a lot like expressfind, such a nasty piece of adware. I had it before and ended up having to do a full reset of my HDD.
Run the scan again in safe mode
Here is how you boot in safe mode

Is it that bad? and do i have to reset my HDD?
I'm just a very boring person.
Okay while i was browsing and raging at the ads, Avast Anti Virus popped up with this msg (it have been popping these since about a month)
