Oh, ouch. Definitely give Windows Defender a try! D: It looks like Malwarebytes solved a small part of the problem, but whatever found its way to your computer is still there. And (this might seem like a silly suggestion), try clearing your browser cache and your browser history.

Whatever you do - be patient and don't freak out. These things can sometimes take a bit more effort to remove and there is no one cure-all for viruses. In some cases, you just gotta try different things until something works. Good luck and keep us updated!

Huh. Sorry to hear things still aren't clearing up. I would also give Windows Defender a try maybe. And yeah clearing your browser history and cache like said is always a good idea.

Either that or possibly taking it in somewhere to have someone professional take a look at it might be something to think about.

Okay so I was looking around my addons/plugins and I found something I don't know what it is and I don't remember installing it's called widevine content decryption module provided by google inc is this what's causing the problem? I disabled it. Does anyone know what this is for?

Also this happens randomly when I click on any webpage. Strangely it seems to be more active in the morning than at night. I was on computer all last night I don't think I got a single redirect, I've been on computer for less than 30 minutes and I've already got two, luckily Malwarebytes blocked the site, the site it's trying to redirect me to right now is weevah??? Which I have never heard of.

Judging by a quick Google search, the Widevine Content thing is allowing Chrome to play certain types of video, and allows people to run C and C++ codes on websites, so it's likely not causing the problem.

I would also maybe do a quick search on a 'redirect virus.' There are generally a lot of help pages that'll give you step-by-step instructions on how to remove things like that.

At this point, I highly, highly, highly recommend going to the Tech Support Guy forums, specifically, the Virus & Other Malware forum. There are professionals there that can help you for free (though a donation is always appreciated, and in the past, I have even purchased advertising for them as a thank-you). Many of the people there who offer assistance are even Microsoft employees, professional IT people, etc. They can walk you through removal step-by-step. They may ask you to run ComboFix, which is very powerful, but does require the assistance of a pro who knows what they're doing.

Seconding 's suggestion. :/ Sounds like you've picked up something pretty nasty and I kind of doubt the Subeta forums can be of much use to help solve this. If you can't take your PC to a pro to get it looked at, definitely check out the forum Dill linked you to, hopefully they can help you out more. Good luck!
