    For the last few days I have been getting a new window opening when I click on something in Tigerfan. It seems first open a window from stamplives.com and then redirects to another website. Sometimes it telling me I need to upgrade Adobe. This morning it redirected to some sports site and just now it redirected to

    The thing is that this only happens with TigerFan and not with any other website I may be on. And only on my laptop and not on my phone or tablet. Maybe @BRETT might know something about this.

    Best run some security software. Try another browser and see if it happens. You may have to delete your cookies if someone has slipped some adware into your browser.

    Most likely you have a virus/mail-ware installed. Best thing you can do when you even think you have something, a clean install. First thing after install is add virus protection, then the rest of your wares.

    The least you can do is wipe out all the software you don't recognize you have installed, it might fix your issue. I would go with the first solution.

    Do a restore prior to the issue.

    Works on Internet Explorer. Deleted cookies and still have problem in Chrome. Will try system restore. The problem started after I install a program downloaded from Office Depot site that was supposed to scan my computer for problems. I have since uninstalled the program, deleted it and cleaned the registry. Weird that the popup windows only happen when I'm on TigerFan using Chrome.

    no its not. sounds like a redirect virus. which is really a rootkit which is bad. google how to remove it if your restore doesnt work. its pretty intricate and most software cant fix it. i bet red never gets this on a mac.
